The year 2020 was an unprecedented time in the history of human civilization that got paused the lifeline for a while. It even constricted the natural emotions of human beings and made them puzzled. We experienced a time of nightmare, which we never want to get it back anyway.
In my earlier write-up, I discussed how the art world was working by shoving up all the barriers during the high-time of the pandemic. It proved that although life was felt in critical circumstances yet, it did not stop; rather it was going along silently in a creative way. As a prominent part of the global art platform, ARTDEX also hosted several events during this worst time.
In the month of April, in response to the threat of a pandemic and subsequent lock-downs, ARTDEX introduced #ARTDEXQuarantineArt as a form of escape and solace. Ever since they have received a wonderful collection of artworks from the global ARTDEX community. ARTDEX celebrated art as a form of healing, They featured some of the collections of their artists like, - Glen Gauthier, Brut Carniollus, Luis Gonzalez-Porto, Sogand Bashash, Peisy Ting, and Francene Levinson including me. All the featured works are now available on their YouTube channel. Check out the video here, -
There were so many things that shook the world of art, but ARTDEX stayed on its mission. From the rise of street art and graffiti culture in the 1970s, the art world's love of Basquiat, the influence of radical feminism in the founding French Impressionists, to the artistic, social, and political importance of #BLM, ARTDEX have reviewed various historical and current topics, movements, and transformations in their blog. Check out the summary of their blog, which grabbed the attention of art lovers around the world.
In 2020, they introduced a series of Art Guide in order to support ArtDex members' and rising artists' professional careers. Drawing inspiration from a diverse community of artists around the world with their own unique perspectives, ARTDEX celebrates their journey of art-making and artistic adventure. The platform of the global community at ARTDEX is where the emerging artists and art professionals could gather in one place to share inspiration, art information, and discover art with one another – going beyond geographical borders and boundaries. The talented artists have been helping ARTDEX create this incredible adventure in spite of the challenging time of pandemic and lockdowns we've been facing in 2020.
Here, I would like to share some of the best of our 2020 ARTDEX origin stories with you, presented in our ARTDEX Stories video:
