DavidBowie: a master of the creative universe
was a master of the creative universe, a maestro of visual expression and a kaiser of the cross-pollination of the arts. His reach was far-flung across music, film, fashion and art, with the latter leading his support for the young generations of artists pushing their way through a deeply congested art market.
On lessons learnt from her time with a meteorite in many people’s galaxies, Greenacre discusses her endeavours with Bowie, her own approach to art curation and the future of contemporary art.“Everybody is a curator these days, but when I graduated from The Courtauld Institute of Art in the 1990s there was no curating course – I came to a career in the art world via a History of Art degree.
“Bowie Art was a platform that gave recent graduates visibility and support at an important moment at the beginning of their careers, and connected them directly with users. David put his name to the site, as he knew it would drive audiences to the artist’s work, and it did. Soon after its launch we were getting over a million hits a week.at The Royal Festival Hall, to tie in with David’s Meltdown Festival;, which was an ongoing series of installations in window spaces across the city.
“We had ROKEBY for close to 15 years and were never afraid to challenge the gallery model; we changed it regularly in accordance with a shifting landscape and market. The contemporary art world changes quickly and you have to keep ahead and not be afraid to reinvent the traditional structures.”“I realise time and time again that I approach much of what I do in the art world – and beyond – with lessons learnt from David.
