Yuval Aluf is an art writer and interviewer based in London. She studies History of Art at The Courtauld Institute of Art, where she was awarded the John Hayes Travel Prize, and writes for The Courtauldian Magazine. Her work focuses on contemporary art, exhibition-making, and curatorial practice.
Through interviews and critical writing, she examines how art is encountered across galleries, art fairs, and institutional contexts. Her work addresses the relationships between artists, curators, collectors, and audiences, as well as how local art scenes operate within the global art world.
Simon Castets, Director of Strategic Initiatives at LUMA Arles and former Director of the Swiss Institute, reflects on the evolving role of institutions across generations and within the shifting dynamics of the Paris art scene. Set against the backdrop of Paris+ par Art Basel, the conversation explores time as a curatorial resource, the intersection of art and technology, and the changing responsibilities of cultural institutions within a global context.
