Both of them have art in their blood: Jeannette comes from a family of collectors in the Ruhr and Christian is an heir of the zu Fürstenberg dynasty, whose collections amassed over centuries can be viewed by the public at the family’s ancestral seat in Donaueschingen. The union of marriage brought two like-minded people together with one aim: “to continue the tradition and both live out and expand our passion for contemporary art.”

Camera 16
In The Picture of Dorian Gray, Oscar Wilde wrote: “There is only one thing in the world worse than being talked about, and that is not being talked about”. While Hollande’s government in Paris is formally considering the draft law on marriage for alland homoparentality in Milan there is a shy echo: Camera16 is opening a pioneering exhibition, if considered in the Italian cultural environment, that explores the homosexual identity conjugated to the artistic activity through multiple perspectives: both existential and aesthetic.

We went to Unreasonable, the solo exhibition of Florence Cantié-Kramer at Galerie Rabouan Moussion, Paris. In the exhibition space several materials are in constant opposition and respond in an ongoing dialogue, highlighting in turn their fragility or their density. It is a work of great sensuality, which collide with the sacred and the profane. Materials overlap without losing their raw character.

It all started with a very a nice dinner on the rooftop of the Soho House. We were six women all working in the art business and we realized that there was no forum for professional dialogue between different players within the art world. Following this dinner, I commenced the organisation of events which the five other women supported in the beginning through networking the art world.
