Over the past twenty years, the art scene in which we live has become one in which artists can no longer survive by thinking about the origin and creation of work alone. The economic circumstances around us, post financial crisis, have changed violently as well. After benefiting passively from the bubble years, the art market is now being asked to develop new concepts for the next generation. Slowly but surely, things are changing. It is my great hope that this show at Versailles will reflect these circumstances.
