What looks like a gallery show, functions like an art fair and feels like a biennial? The answer: Conversations on Tomorrow, an unusual group exhibition that will see four of India’s leading commercial galleries take over Sadie Coles HQ's Davies Street space, all hoping to prove that dealers can work together while serving their individual interests.
The show began as a conversation between Sadie Coles and Prateek Raja, the co-founder of Experimenter in Kolkata, who are both founding members of the International Galleries Alliance (IGA), an invitation-only dealer collective established in October. With around 250 members from across 54 countries, the IGA was formed to foster relationships between galleries to more effectively tackle issues such as sustainability and the rising costs of art fairs, while encouraging collaboration and the sharing of resources.
