Safety Net | Our realities become virtual as everything is uploaded with the best art now existing online
Posted by Kat Koch on
The sudden emergence and virulent occupation of the coronavirus across the globe has forced the art world as we know it to move online.

By now, all major and minor museums and art institutions alike have migrated to the online sphere. With lockdown extensions and further cancellations of events, our notion of a “place” for public gathering has unrecognisably transformed- it is now the internet.

Firstly, I want to wish you and your loved ones good health and happiness during this difficult period. I hope, in some form or another, the art we share can bring you comfort and a salve for the pains of isolation.
