In this episode of BenchTalk, I'm joined by artist Loribelle Spirovski for a deep dive into Sydney Contemporary 2025.
As first-time exhibitors, Loribelle and I share our impressions of Australia’s biggest art fair - from booth placement strategies to the works that stopped us in our tracks.
We talk about the role of art fairs in shaping art careers, the difference between seeing art online vs in the flesh, and what it’s like navigating critique in the art world.
