Artpress Roundtable: From the Death of Art to the Fashion of Art

In December 1985, a notable roundtable gathering focused on contemporary art took place over two days, featuring discussions on visual arts, literature, and music. Prominent participants included Georges Banu, Chantal Beret, and Catherine Francblin, among others. Dominique Jameux contributed to the dialogue on the second day. This dynamic exchange of ideas was later published in artpress in February 1986, where participants explored the evolution of the perception of art, transitioning from the notion of its 'death' to its emergence as a sought-after commodity. The event underscored significant shifts in the art world's cultural landscape.
