About Me
Welcome to my site. It's primarily an archive of articles, speeches, interviews, panels, podcasts and other material related to my three decades as a journalist, Art Basel director, cultural-strategy consigliere and professor. You'll also find some articles about me.
If you explore, you'll find the site's very culturally ‘transversal.’ While the contemporary-art world has been my core focus lately, my first writing about culture was focused more on architecture and design. I've also delved into adjacent fields such as music, cinema, fashion, sports, etc. And now that I'm working independently, many projects fortunately cross over into other cultural domains.
Want to discuss collaborating on a project? Use the contact form below. To stay updated on talks, podcasts, panels, articles, etc, please sign up for my (sporadic) WhatsApp channel and/or email newsletter. To receive a fairly random dose of my daily activities, hot takes on news, art I like, books I read, and other current obsessions, follow me on Instagram.
Thanks for visiting,
Marc
PS If you want to join the adult-film industry (not judging…) then you’re looking for Mark Spiegler, not me. And rest assured, you’re not the first to make this mistake.
