The Art Angle Podcast: Three Ways Coronavirus Will Transform the Art World

Welcome to the Art Angle, a podcast from Artnet News that
delves into the places where the art world meets the real world,
bringing each week’s biggest story down to earth. Join host Andrew
Goldstein every week for an in-depth look at what matters most in
museums, the art market, and much more with input from our own
writers and editors as well as artists, curators, and other top
experts in the field.

In the past month, the world—and by extension, the art world—has
changed so drastically that it is almost unrecognizable. While the
novel 2019 coronavirus continues to threaten countries around the
globe and industries of all types, major and minor art institutions
alike have shuttered until further notice, hundreds of galleries have
temporarily closed their doors, and both artists and art lovers
have been left to wonder how to respond in the social-distancing
era.

Like so many other staffers worldwide, the Art Angle
team is now working remotely, harnessing the power of technology to
bring you a comprehensive analysis of a cultural sphere beaten back by
COVID-19—but not defeated. The enormity of the changes in
progress demanded that Artnet News assemble an all-star cast to
address how the pandemic is affecting the places we go to see art,
the ways we buy art, and the nature of art itself.

First, Artnet News executive editor Julia Halperin weighs in on
how all museums, from New York’s Metropolitan Museum of
Art to small regional nonprofits, are dealing with a sudden
loss of income and an uncertain future as public gathering places.
Then, art business editor Tim Schneider discusses the state of the
gallery system and how digital platforms could
help nimble dealers reckon with the temporary end of the social
art-buying experience. Finally, art critic Ben Davis shares his
thoughts on how art can play a role in
community-building during and after a period of widespread
trauma.
