Wondereur is a ground-breaking cultural platform reinventing how we relate to art. Discover, experience, invest. Worldwide.
Wondereur is a ground-breaking cultural platform reinventing how we relate to art. Discover, experience, invest. Worldwide.
We invite preeminent curators from around the world to introduce us to the artists they are most excited about now.
Influential curators, world class collectors, and cultural visionaries, our carefully-selected curators have a pulse on the dynamic international contemporary art scene.
They are on the TATE Modern Acquisition Committee or the Art Institute of Chicago Board; they are star architects or designers in North America or Asia; they are important art critics or scholars in Europe or South America; they have built some of the most important art collections worldwide.
“Leading curators select top artists writing the history of our time.”
From emerging talent to internationally recognized artists, all of the artists featured on Wondereur have something to say. Their voices are informed in part by their locations and backgrounds across five continents, as well as by their focus on social and political issues, personal histories, aesthetic exploration or science and technology. We are committed to making the diversity of their points of view and the complexity of their vision accessible through our investigative approach to art.
This commitment is increasing, as we explore 20 additional countries in the next 2 years, lead by our select curators. We are also developing new ways of discovering and experiencing art, both in the virtual and physical spaces, to be launched in the coming months.
What motivates artists to do what they do? Why it is important to them and why does it matter to us? Who influences their work?
What is the big picture, the context in which artists’ work find its place and its importance?
We see art as a pillar of society: it drives new ideas and important new concepts that are thought-provoking, challenging, and sometimes controversial.
Through investigative journalism and photojournalism, we enter the artist's mind and discover clues about their personal stories, keys to understanding their work.
In collaboration with 38 award-winning photojournalists working with publications like the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal or Monocle, as well as with war photojournalists, we give you unprecedented access to the different facets of an artist's universe.
“We approach the artist's mind like a war zone.”
We are the anti-artist statement, the anti-nose-up-art-world blurb, the anti-romanticized-artsy video. We follow a rigorous ethical framework, a systematic approach, and use the power of photojournalism to its fullest.
In partnership with museums, universities and news publishers worldwide we are launching a comprehensive map of artist influences. A first in the art world, it maps which artists or thinkers have influenced select living artists. Through direct exchange and in-depth analysis, their practice is contextualized as part of a greater whole in a revolutionary way, through their own eyes and in their own words.
Behind a work of art there is a world to explore. What if we invented immersive ways to access it?
We are entirely rethinking the relationship between art and people. When you are alone with a work, with friends at home, or in museums, what if you could see through an artwork and make sense of it? Why is it important and how does it fit into a bigger picture?
What if this information was accessible without touching any screens, without your phone being a barrier between you and the work? What if it was a very simple process, yet deeply relevant?
Finally, what if you could experience public spaces chosen by artists, through their eyes in a profound way? When strolling through a windy park, you could enter an artist's mind at that same moment. How does she experience that space? What if she could share it with you? These moments will be mind-expanding, eye-opening treasures.
“It is called the Tricordeur and early users think it is magical.”
The tricordeur is the name of an entirely new physical experience with art. The pilot is complete and we are currently collaborating with several partners for testing.
We believe that powerful innovation occurs by merging content and technology. A unique ability developed by the Wondereur team.
The Tricordeur is the first part of a series of cutting-edge initiatives that we will be launching in the coming months. Join us as early testers.
Artists are entrepreneurs, risk takers. They condemn, shock, enlighten. We are inspired, puzzled, and offended by them, and we should invest in them.
Patronage today is simple: it is about believing in artists, their potential and importance, and purchasing their work. With one work, you are already a patron.
Through our platform, you can access a multi-faceted investigation of artists: the motivation behind their work and its significance, their unique career path, and their place in the international art community, allowing you to make an informed decision about your investment.
We are here to help you. Connect with us if you have questions, require recommendations, or simply would like us to accompany you in your journey.
“Patronage starts with one artwork.”
We are journalists, entrepreneurs, art historians, futurologists, and art experts. But first and foremost, we are art lovers and art collectors. We are from New York, Toronto, Paris, and beyond, and have built a highly collaborative environment allowing Wondereur to forge its own path, innovate quickly, and deliver a luxurious experience. Connect with us, we are here to help you.
