Sedition
The platform that is changing the contemporary art market

This is the interview I did to Sedition, the online platform that is changing the market of international contemporary art. They do not release many interviews, so it's an exclusive chance to better know this service (founded in 2011 by Harry Blain) that displays and sells artworks in digital format giving everyone an easy, enjoyable and social way to experience art-collecting at affordable prices

An online platform for contemporary and media artists, has been displaing and selling their artworks in digital format from about 3 years. For those who don’t know it, its called Sedition (http://www.seditionart.com/) and it gives everyone an easy, enjoyable and social way to experience art-collecting at affordable prices, for connected screens and devices, TVs, smartphones, tablets, apps and computers.

They do not release many interviews, even if feedbacks confirm how this service has been growing in terms of numbers and businesses and is changing the way we can experience contemporary art nowaday. And how also the market of contemporary art will probably change the next years, due to the Internet and Social Media services.

The company was founded in 2011 by Harry Blain, English art dealer and gallery owner that in 2002 started Haunch of Venison gallery with Graham Southern, Founding Director of Christie’s (London) Post-War & Contemporary Art Department until 2011. In 2007 Blain and Southern sold Haunch of Venison to Christie’s International plc and after that launched a new gallery, Blain | Southern (http://www.blainsouthern.com/).
