New work and exhibitions
sage and sound Strategic art investment may seem a minefield, but one consultancy hopes to ease the process for those looking to invest around £50,000 or more – within the realms of Asian art at least. Art Futures Group launched in the UK at the beginning of the year, after setting up in Asia in 2011. The advisory works with more than 1,000 artists, but focuses on 44 contemporary Chinese creators whose sales have a good track record. It guides clients through investment, involving private views of potential purchases and three post-sale options: to keep for personal use; free storage; or a leasing scheme that rents the work for a six per cent return per annum. artfuturesgroup.com 8
q&a with Toshiyuki Inoko, founder of teamLab, the interdisciplinary collaborative group How do your immersive installations work? In some pieces, digital technology creates art by using programmed behavioural code. In others, the medium is transformative: the viewer’s movements cause the installation to react. What does Transcending Boundaries, your new exhibition at Pace London, refer to? Within the digital domain, art can transcend physical and conceptual boundaries. Digital technology allows art to break free from the frame. Elements can interact with and influence other works exhibited in the same space. In this way, boundaries dissolve. What themes does your work explore? The digital realm is free from physical constraints. Technology is a tool for change and a platform for expressing complex ideas. Viewers and the environment take on a crucial role in defining and changing interactive artworks. The viewer is an active participant and becomes part of the artwork. Until 11 March, 6 Burlington Gardens, W1S, pacegallery.com
