Software
and film for
the art world.
“Most of the art world’s software is built by people who have never hung a show or written a review. Ours is built by people who have.”
Who we work with18 names
Studio clients and commissions, and the galleries, fairs and institutions we work alongside.
01 WorkFig. 01-02
Commissioned software, outside the art world.
The wall
Every default is a judgement, and judgement does not survive a handoff.
A show is described as a sequence of arguments and arrives as a grid of thumbnails sorted by date. Nobody decided to flatten it. It flattened itself in translation, because the person who understood the argument was not in the room when the defaults were set.
The studio works on the seam. The people who decide what the work means are the people who build what carries it.

Software, platforms and AI agents
Products, platforms, AI agents and MCP servers for galleries, publishers, fairs and the companies around them. Designed and built by the same people, shipped to a live domain, documented so you can run it.
3.2Editorial and criticism
Criticism, interviews, reportage and catalogue texts, in English and French. Written by a working critic and publisher, through Art Plugged or on commission for institutions, galleries and brands.
3.3Art intelligence
Composite scoring and research across cultural and market signals: who is being shown, written about, collected and acquired, and what that adds up to. Evidence to sit beside judgement, never to replace it.
3.4Curation and exhibitions
Selection, sequencing and the argument a show makes. Exhibitions, fair presentations, panels and public programmes, curated by people who also write about them.
3.5Consultancy
For institutions and companies deciding what to build, and whether to build it at all. Product, platform and AI strategy from a studio that ships its own, so the advice has been tested on the adviser.
3.6Marketing
Positioning, launches and the press behind them, for galleries, fairs, publishers and art world companies. The argument first, then the channels. ArtWire is the studio’s own instrument for the press part.
3.7Video production
Documentaries, artist interviews and films for institutions, galleries and public art. Directed, written and edited by the team, the way Walking the Line was.

What clients say.
Q.01
Pour l’Art built Culturalee from scratch: the identity, the website, the SEO. We arrived with a name and an idea and left with a publication.
Q.02
ArtWire was incredibly helpful and accessible. Thanks to their platform, we were able to distribute our news to over 300 publications, media outlets, and freelancers within London alone.
