Ahead of Paris Photo, the main art fair dedicated to photography, which has become a major event on the international photography scene, the Centre de la photographie Genève organises a talk on the topic of art fairs. Two Swiss gallerists and an artist have been invited to discuss key issues surrounding these events, beyond the sale of artworks, for galleries, artists and institutions alike.

« We need to talk… » is a series of public talks proposed by the Centre de la photographie Genève since 2022, addressed primarily to artists, photographers and students in these disciplines. Professionals from different fields related to art and photography are invited to share their expertise and professional experience, and to discuss the specificities of their practice. With these talks, the Centre de la photographie Genève intends to demystify certain professions, encourage good practices, and support artists and photographers in important processes related to their profession, which remain largely unaddressed in art and photography schools.
