EICI: Home. Creative Industries. Creative Industries. After leaving school in the UK, I moved to Paris and completed a BA in history of art at the Sorbonne. I realised I was particularly interested in contemporary art, and decided a great place to learn about it in more depth would be New York, so then I went to the big apple to work at MoMA-PS1 and ArtReview magazine, and loved every minute of it.

I thought it best to have a masters, so returned to Paris to do an MA in contemporary art, where I specialised in performance art. After my Masters I joined a small Parisian gallery, and its director was interested in bringing more Indian art to France. I helped research interesting artists, contact them and plan exhibitions, and was fortunate enough to build good relationships with some brilliant artists. Then I went to work for a British auction house in Paris.

Cinema of Europe

Europeans were the pioneers of the motion picture industry, with several innovative engineers and artists making an impact especially at the end of the 19th century. Louis Le Prince became famous for his 1888 Roundhay Garden Scene, the first known celluloid film recorded. The Skladanowsky brothers from Berlin used their "Bioscop" to amaze the Wintergarten theatre audience with the first film show ever, from November 1 through 31, 1895. The Lumière Brothers established the Cinematograph; which initiated the silent film era, a period where European cinema was a major commercial success. It remained so until the art-hostile environment of World War II.[1] Notable European early film movements include German Expressionism (1920s), French Impressionist Cinema (1920s), Poetic realism (1930s), and Italian neorealism (1940s); it was a period now seen in retrospect as "The Other Hollywood".
