In this special episode, our host Roland-Philippe Kretzschmar is meeting with Sergio Sancho and Sara Coriat of CAN Ibiza.
Sara Coriat & Sergio Sancho
This summer Ibiza is once again the epicenter of contemporary art thanks to CAN Art Fair, which repeats its edition for the second consecutive year and brings together the latest in contemporary creation by hosting up to 37 galleries and more than 150 artists coming from Hong Kong, Sydney, London or Los Angeles. Directed by Sergio Sancho, collector and founder of UVNT Art Fair Madrid (Urvanity), it is curated by critic Saša Bogojev and brings together from July 12 to 16 prominent international collectors.
About Sergio Sancho, director and founder:
Sergio Sancho (Madrid, 1978) left the world of advertising to devote himself to his passion for art, specifically New Contemporary Art that did not have a platform in Spain. Sancho created UVNT Art Fair in Madrid as a response to this lack of representation. After seven editions held annually in February, the fair has established itself as an important meeting point for artistic proposals in the field. In parallel, Sancho has worked as a cultural agitator with artistic projects for companies such as Caleido, Las Rozas Village, Iberia, Swatch, Mahou, NYX Hotels... bringing art closer to the business world and the general public. In 2022, Sancho launched CAN Ibiza (Contemporary Art Now).
About Sara Coriat, Galleries and Communications Director:
Sara Coriat (Madrid, 1989), former journalist, is Galleries & Communications Director at Contemporary Art Now Ibiza (CAN) and UVNT Madrid art fairs, and coordinates artistic projects at Urvanity Projects. She has worked as an editor for Elle Spain magazine for four years and collaborated with El Mundo, AD magazine or Tapas. It was the AECID cultural management fellowship that took her to Miami to enter the art and culture scene, working as Exhibitions Coordinator at CCEMiami (Spanish Cultural Center in Miami) for two years, carrying exhibitions with artists such as Eugenio Ampudia, Rocío García, Angela Valella, Susana Guerrero or Elio Rodriguez, before returning to Madrid in 2019 to work at UVNT and CAN.
