Geopolitics of Beauty: Art in the Age of Global Uncertainty
In a world marked by geopolitical tensions, new trade barriers, and growing concern for the environment, the art system is also changing. The ways in which works travel, artists move, and fairs transform reveal much more than meets the eye. This talk aims to open a space for discussion on how conflicts, tariffs, sanctions, and climate policies are redefining the art market and the strategies of those who interact with it every day. An open dialogue to reflect on how art can continue to create connections and shared visions, even in an increasingly complex global context.
HOW TO PARTICIPATE
The event is open to all art enthusiasts, collectors, and interested attendees who purchase an admission ticket to the YouNique Boutique Fair of Arts 2026 (March 27-29) or have a VIP invitation. For more information, please email info@younique-experience.com.
RELATORS
CLAUDIO CALÒ | Director Madeinartgallery
Claudio Calò, a self-taught gallerist and founder of Madeinartgallery, opened a space dedicated to contemporary Chinese art in Milan in 2014. Among the first in Europe to recognize the value of new artistic expressions from China, he developed a pioneering project based on research and cultural vision. Together with Laura Peluso, he integrates diverse languages such as art, design, and fashion, forging a cross-cutting creative dialogue. The collaboration with curator Vincenzo Sanfo, an expert in Chinese culture and talent scout, is crucial. The artists represented portray a contemporary, complex, and ever-changing China. Through painting, sculpture, and new media, the gallery offers an authentic glimpse into a millennia-old culture reinterpreted in a contemporary key.
