Art Group RANDOM INTERNATIONAL run a collaborative studio for experimental practice within contemporary art. Founded in 2005 by
Hannes Koch and Florian Ortkrass, today they work with larger teams of diverse talent out of studios in London and Berlin. Questioning aspects of identity and autonomy in the post-digital age, their work invites active participation. RANDOM INTERNATIONAL explores the human condition in an increasingly mechanised world through emotional yet physically intense experiences. Their work Rain Room is in the collection of Jackalope Art Collection Melbourne, and LACMA, having been exhibited under the museum’s historic Art and Technology initiative. The artwork has also been shown at the MoCA Busan (2019), YUZ Museum in Shanghai (2015), the MoMA New York (2013), and London’s Barbican (2012). An edition of Rain Room has become the first permanently installed artwork at the Sharjah Art Foundation (UAE) and is housed in its own building.
Dominic Muller (Chair)
Dominic has worked in various roles in the legal field for nearly 15 years in both the United States and the United Kingdom. Professionally his work over this period has primarily focused on financial services regulation and wider compliance issues, although he has simultaneously developed a sustained interest in the ways in which the law and the arts intersect and inform one another. These interests include the practical legal challenges faced by artists, galleries and commissioners; the ways in which financial instruments and technology shape the art market; the intellectual influence of the law on societal understanding of art, among others. Dominic will be exploring these points of convergence between art and the law, and highlighting their practical relevance to art market participants throughout this series.
