Nadat ik via Facebook Messenger een enorm leuk, maar zeker ook een veelbelovend berichtje had gekregen over een mogelijkheid om digitaal te exposeren in de M.A.D. Gallery in Milaan, nu een update.

In de eerdere blog was al beschreven dat er documenten waren toegevoegd bij het berichtje via Facebook. Daarnaast kreeg ik via e-mail nog wat meer informatie.

Wat kan de gallery me nu precies bieden?
In de e-mail schreef de galleryhoudster het volgende:

We offer exhibition in gallery of the artworks in the multimedia set-up, care of the artist’s images by creating reviews of them curated by our team of art curators, video reviews, a section in our website with your bio, photo etc, advertising through the official gallery channels (website and social), presence in a digital catalogue. In addition, the gallery organizes promotional events where artists and public are invited to favor their enjoyment.

Our purpose is to give high visibility to artists, to allow them and their art to be known by always a major public, so to favor also sales. In fact, lot of our artists, sold the pieces put in our exclusive set-up cause they received contacts by all our followers and visitors all over the world. We don’t take any percentage on sales.

I really hope you like and appreciate and it will be a pleasure to count you among our artists!

Uit de overige documenten heb ik het volgende gedestilleerd:
The following contents are addressed to the artists demanding the participation to the project “Milan Biennial of Art” 2017 by exhibiting their own artworks on-screen.

The services
The services and facilities provided by the gallery are the following:

• A set of artworks displayed on-screen at our gallery in Milan for the entire duration of the exhibition. The artworks will be displayed starting from the moment of the enrollment for a duration of an entire year (12 months).
• Publications and advertising through online channels, external partners, advisors and free-lancers, united with the constant support of our pressoffice.
• Publications and advertising on our website.
• Publications and advertising on our social networks pages (ex. Facebook, Youtube, etc.).
• Critical reviews and video-reviews curated by our team of experts.
• Publications on exclusive digital issues.
• Realization of a digital catalogue released on every event and opening.
• Monthly events curated by our team.
• Multilingual qualified personnel dedicated to the presentation, promotion and sale of the artworks.

Costs.
The gallery requires a participation fee equal to 180,00 Euro for each piece exhibited on-screen. The fee is a mere membership quote, necessary to join M.A.D. Gallery Milano Moda Arte e Design: it will be used to cover all the organizational and operational expenses.

Sale of the artwork.
The gallery does not perceive any percentage on the selling price of the artwork. The whole amount of the sale shall therefore belong to the artist

Zoals ik het nu zie, biedt de gallery veel tegen een relatief klein bedrag. Immers een foto een jaar lang exposeren voor €180 komt neer op €15 per maand. Toch heb ik nog wel de nodige vragen die ik eerst beantwoord wil zien, voordat ik vervolgstappen onderneem.

Wordt vervolgd.
