A Visit to L’ahah
Professional visit organized for our MBA in Contemporary Arts: Sales, Display and Collecting students at L’ahah
Students enrolled in the MBA Contemporary Art: Sales, Display, and Collecting program recently visited L’ahah with Professor Lassla Esquivel.
In the company of Doria Tichit, director of L’ahah, and accompanied by Jeanne Marthas, a former IESA International student now working as L’ahah’s communications coordinator, the visit provided a glimpse into the ever-evolving world of contemporary art.
Located in the heart of Paris, L’ahah offers a platform to emerging and established artists, dedicated to boosting artistic recognition through a multifaceted approach encompassing exhibitions, publications and collaborative initiatives.
L’ahah’s philosophy resonates with its commitment to fostering long-term relationships with artists, championing diverse disciplines and amplifying innovative efforts through alternative structures.
One of the highlights of the visit was the opportunity to talk with the renowned artist Anne Deguelle, a French sculptor. Through the diversity of her practices, Anne Deguelle questions the nature of artworks and the work of artists and emblematic figures of the 20th century. By focusing on details usually overlooked by art history or criticism because they are considered anecdotal, she creates confusion in our perception and memory, offering a redefinition of what is designated by the notions of Art and Work.
At L’ahah, our students gained a nuanced understanding of the multifaceted challenges and opportunities inherent in the contemporary art market. The visit demonstrated the transformative power of hands-on learning and experiential education, reaffirming the importance of forging meaningful links between the world of higher education and real-world practice to shape the next generation of art professionals.
