Art, seriously.

An acquisition is also a curatorial decision. A cultural programme is also a position taken in public. An exhibition is also an argument that lasts in print. An artist's career is also a function of the institutions and collectors around it. Appia is an integrated practice because the work itself is not separable.

Four registers of a single judgement, held in balance.

  1. Art Advisory

    Acquisition, collection management, and the long custody of works — for private collectors who treat a collection as a position, not an inventory.

  2. Cultural Consultancy

    Cultural strategy and programming for institutions and corporations — distinguishing what a programme says from what its structure actually produces.

  3. Curatorial · Editorial

    Exhibitions and the publications that outlast them: the argument on the wall, and the record that survives it.

  4. Artist Management

    Project-based representation that situates an artist's work among the institutions, collectors, and contexts that carry it forward.
