Unlike other art platforms where enquiries are sent to us, and our responses are virtually always unacknowledged, Ocula prequalifies and mediates our sales enquiries. As a consequence, we save time and sales leads are generally more focused and serious. SPRÜTH MAGERS, BERLIN, LONDON, LOS ANGELES
Ocula is a great platform to introduce many international artists to art professionals and the general public. The online platform today acts as a powerful communications tool to swiftly engage global followers with a wealth of knowledge, while remaining receptive to each user's needs. Taking the laudable, but still necessary step beyond is manifest in Ocula Conversations, which illuminates artists at the core of their practice through their quality, in-depth editorial for a well-informed audience.

Ocula does the hard work of interviewing key practitioners throughout the field of contemporary art, and the harder work of compiling the most lasting of these interviews, each year, into a printed book. Now in its second edition, this book is akin to an almanac of the artistic conversation, a lasting document of the mood of contemporary art at a given moment. It has been a privilege to be involved in producing publications with such depth and personality. PHILIP TINARI, DIRECTOR, ULLENS CENTER FOR CONTEMPORARY ART
