Little Red Book
Briefly

Seaport Talks, hosted by Dean Kissick, aimed to spark open conversations about contemporary art in a relaxed bar setting. These events ran from January 2023 to January 2024, featuring diverse guests, including artists, critics, and dealers. Conversations were informal and spontaneous, allowing participants to share personal experiences within the industry. The focus was on stimulating social interactions and discussions rather than formal lectures or presentations. The varying quality of conversations highlighted the unpredictability of the format, from engaging anecdotes to less compelling monologues, contributing to the overall vibrancy of the series.
Kissick's concept established an approachable environment for artistic discourse that prioritized social interaction over structured content delivery, creating an inclusive space for spontaneous conversations.
Participants engaged in open-ended discussions, allowing their personal journeys within the industry to inform the dialogue, reflecting on past grievances and aspirations for the future of art.
