Jessica Nussenbaum organized and hosted a conversation between Sylvain Levy, founder of the DSLcollection and art dealer Magda Danysz, on how to choose an unfamiliar path to build a collection in the 21st century

 

The event was held on the 26th of April 2023 in London and organised in collaboration with The Club, Parcours Saint Germain.

​

The Levy couple approached collecting more than thirty years ago through classical art and then design; Ron Arad, Marc Newson, Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec, as well as many Italian designers.

The couple decided to make a strong and decisive shift 17 years ago that and decided to focus solely on contemporary Chinese art. Today this collection is considered among the most important ones in the world.

The key factor that differentiates the Dslcollection is its use of the latest technology to share the collection. Current projects are linked with the use of VR, video games and the metaverse. They will launch during Art Basel + a VR Ukrainian Pavilion on the metaverse dedicated to Ukrainian visual art, fashion design, and music.

​

Founder of the Danysz art galleries in Paris (since 1991), Shanghai (2009) and London (2019), as well as the Artcare and Artransfer startups (2021), Magda Danysz focuses on art, technology, and global change through culture. Throughout the years, she became an expert in street art, as well as digital art, contemporary photography, and Chinese contemporary art.
