About Art - A podcast by Heidi Zuckerman - Marți

Categories:

Joost Bosland is one of the thirteen owners of Stevenson, a gallery with spaces in Cape Town and Johannesburg, and an office in Amsterdam. He has been with the gallery since a three-month internship in 2005. Among the artists Bosland works closely with at the gallery are Moshekwa Langa, Zanele Muholi, Robin Rhode, and Viviane Sassen. Stevenson opened in 2003, and currently represents 31 artists and employs 34 people. In the absence of local institutions dedicated to contemporary art, from 2005 to 2015 the gallery was instrumental in bringing international artists to South Africa, often for the first time. He and Zuckerman discuss unrealized projects, being at it for a long time, the art world as a way of imagining a better world, making 2+2=5, existing outside of traditional centers, collective ownership, changing power dynamics, the art of being a gallerist, the A word, the nuance of representing the complex geography of Africa, soaking in people, Art Basel, finding people who need your skill set, mentors, and making the world a better place! *** This episode is brought to you by Kelly Klee private insurance .
