“What happens when an artistic space as we have traditionally known it is no longer available? While opportunities for social and professional interactions in the art world have clearly been limited by the pandemic, the outlook is not as clear for the evolution of these spaces. At the same time, the digital sphere has steadied its relentless conquest of the physical space, though opening horizons for creativity we couldn’t have even imagined.
London has a great musical heritage, and the pandemic has evidenced that it’s not something we can take for granted. Luckily the city also has a solid network of talented creatives that have been reimagining the current constraints. CLOT Magazine has invited a few of the most relevant voices experimenting with these new artistic hybrid spaces to discuss the challenges, the positive outcomes and interrogate what it’s to come next.
Citing Achille Bonito Oliva: “Art is the ambivalent movement that plays on presence and absence, contact and separation, heroism and detachment, attitudes that are not conflicting but complementary, that affirm the diverse rapport with reality.”
