This lecture-workshop by Andrew Cannon, head of sales at Spike, addressed everything students wanted to know about the contemporary art world, but were too afraid to ask. Do I have to turn up to every opening and drink the bad wine, or can I network form my phone at home? Why does getting on a gallery roster seem harder than getting into Berghain? What are artist resale rights? Are auction houses the new curators? How do I get one of those curators to come to my studio – or don’t I need a studio anymore?
