Art that Cooks

As galleries have all gravitated to digital in the wake of Covid-19, Hauser & Wirth was swift out of the blocks with a new digital-content initiative, along with a series of online exhibitions. Called Dispatches, the platform consists of original homemade videos, online features, new digital exhibitions, and experiences, designed to connect viewers with artists. An Explore section features editorial stories, book recommendations, poems and musings. In Distract, parents can engage and commune with their kids via interactive learning and community experiences, including Family Saturday at Home. There’s also Cooking — using recipes submitted by artists, partners, directors, the Hauser team and friends. And Tag, in which Hauser curates favourite posts from the wider digital world. Hauser says this is just the start and in coming weeks we can expect more interactive live talks on social media and =oom to link to a “wider cultural community”. Art’s digital platforms are starting to sound a lot like television. hauserwirth.com.
