CECILIA VICUÑA'S QUIPUS: knots, love, remembrence and thingamabods • Feminism, ecology, activism… Cecilia Vicuña's artistic career has followed the same creative path since she began working in the 1960s, and over the years she has received numerous international awards and recognitions. In 2022, a retrospective at the Guggenheim in New York and the Golden Lion for a whole career at the Venice Biennale made it a memorable year for her. But the celebrations are not over yet: until mid-April, one of her quipus will occupy the Turbine Room at the Tate in London.

The Days

ALICE STORI LIECHTENSTEIN • Love whisked this designer away from her native city of Milan and brought her to a medieval castle in Austria, the Schloss Hollenegg. But far from being discouraged, Alice Stori decided to create a residency for contemporary designers in that castle, which has become a place of lovers of signature design. Every year, several designers spend part of their summers there and work on a joint project with the castle as a source of inspiration, which culminates in an exhibition. A curatorial work that has brought life and expertise to this Austrian nook and has spread it all over the world.

OLIVER MIRO • His work as sales director at the London gallery Victoria Miro prompted him to study new ways of teaching and selling art that did not involve large scale shipments of artworks around the world, along with the inconveniences that this entails and the additional environmental damage to the planet. This was his line of work before the pandemic hit, which happened to be the perfect time to launch and implement Vortic, an application that combines virtual and augmented reality so that galleries and museums can create virtual exhibitions and collectors can imagine what a given art piece would look like in their living room.

HAUSER & WIRTH • BEYOND THE CONFINES OF ART After the highly successful inauguration and reception of the international art center Hauser & Wirth gallery on the unique island of Menorca, its managers Mar Rescalvo and Josechu Carreras take stock of what the broad, innovative and integrative conception of art and the creative and educational practices they promote have meant for the island.

DAVID GILL • HIS GALLERY IS LOCATED IN THE HEART OF MAYFAIR IN LONDON. THERE, HE DEFINES HIS OWN CRITERIA FOR CREATION, WHICH TREADS ON THE EDGE OF DESIGN AND ART, DRAWING INSPIRATION FROM BOTH SOURCES AND WITHOUT RENOUNCING EITHER OF THEM. DAVID GILL IS AN EXAMPLE OF A DEDICATED GALLERIST, PASSIONATE ABOUT THE WORK OF THOSE WHO ARE EXHIBITED THERE, ALL WITH VERY DIFFERENT PERSONALITIES: ARTISTS, DESIGNERS AND ARCHITECTS WHO CREATE THEIR MOST DARING AND UNBIASED COLLECTIONS FOR HIM. AMONG HIS CLIENTS, WE FIND ARTISTS RANGING FROM ELTON JOHN TO MADONNA, INCLUDING MICK JAGGER AND CHARLES SAATCHI, ALL IN SEARCH OF UNIQUE PIECES OR LIMITED EDITIONS WITH A FUNCTION BUT WITH THE NECESSARY QUALITY TO COEXIST WITH THE GREAT COLLECTIONS OF CONTEMPORARY ART.

The Jewelry Whisperer • Much to no one's surprise, it's another rainy London morning. “I'm sorry, I was walking my dog and it started pouring,” Carol Woolton apologizes with impeccable manners after delaying the start of our interview by a mere ten minutes. Writer, historian, stylist, curator, teacher… there are so many facets of her career over almost three decades that the only way to define her is to call her what she is, Britain's foremost authority on jewelry. Editor of magazines such as Vogue or Tatler at a time when the...
