05/27/2025

"Galeristes : De la voix à la peinture" is an innovative project. It aims to highlight female gallerists through a series of podcasts and the creation of a visual artwork.
Our missions:
Democratization of Art: Inviting the general public to walk through the doors of galleries through personal testimonies.
Recognition of Female Gallerists: Shedding light on women's involvement in the art world.
Reflection on Mediation: Exploring how art can be a tool for raising awareness and education.

In this episode of Galeristes, Mathilde hosts Valérie Hasson-Benillouche, founder of the Galerie Charlot, where contemporary art engages with science and new technologies. A pioneer of digital technologies in the art world, Valérie reflects on her 15 years of experience, between Paris and Tel Aviv, and shares her unique vision of art in constant transformation. Through exhibitions and conferences, she advocates for an approach where knowledge is transmitted as much through speech as through aesthetics. A rich conversation on the necessity of seeing to train one’s eye, the importance of adapting to the times, and the ethical reflections surrounding artificial intelligence in artistic creation. She also candidly discusses the place of female artists, their relationship with time, motherhood, and life choices.
