We had a superb Roundtable with legendary curator and writer Lynne Cooke today!
Some highlights
-
- She explained how she picks the 10 best shows every year for Art Forum Magazine - and it is based on the curators of those shows which is why she doesn't choose galleries! (And a reminder of how important non-profit shows are to be in).
- She broke down what an “outlier” artist is, and yes, it is
an expanding definition that can include artists like yourself.
- We discussed her example of a letter that an artist wrote to a curator that as she put it “was what every curator would be thrilled to receive…”
- She was a brilliant speaker, truly, and Praxis members were going on about how special it
was and is to meet people like her in Praxis. It generated an exciting post-talk conversation.
If you’d like to watch the replay, and get her contact information, you must enroll as a Praxis member.
Currently, membership is $59 a month and you can cancel anytime -- but
why would you want to cancel when we have curators like Lynne Cooke every week?
Yes, that means you will actually get four lectures in just the first month for
essentially the price of a museum ticket.
Just so you know, we also have these experts coming in the next month:
- April 27th: Luisa Ziaja / Chief
Curatorr / Österreichische Galerie, Vienna
- May 4th: Imma Prieto / Director, Curator / Museu d'Art Contemporani de Palma, Spain
- May 11th: Krist Gruijthuijsen/ Director of KW Institute for Contemporary Art
- May 18th: Lindsay Friend / IMT Gallery, Director
Would you like to meet them?
As a Praxis member, you can!
Plus 48 other curators, collectors, dealers and gallerists of this caliber over the next 12 months.
AND we’ve already had 160+ speakers to date. When you become a Praxis member, you get immediate access to all their Roundtable recordings and their contact information.
In addition, I will personally edit your letter when you reach out to them
after a Roundtable - and make sure that you are presenting yourself and your work in the best light.
The Praxis school is all about meeting professionals and experts in
the field - period. There is nothing quite like it - art world introductions weekly.
You can meet them over Zoom, ask them questions and always get their contact
information at the end. (And if gathering makes you hesitate, you can watch it anonymously as well, without your camera or mic on, whatever is comfortable for you.)
In
addition to these weekly introductions…
You also get personal access to myself, Brainard Carey, and a suite of educational guides on topics ranging from Grants for
artists, Website Design, Writing class /editing for your Bio and Statement, Getting a Gallery Exhibition without paying for it, Time Management, Finding Patrons, Applying to Residencies and Selling your Art Online down to the details of marketing and advertising online.
Join Praxis Center Membership and unlock a truly international circle of influencers who can support your studio practice from the blank canvas to the museum
acquisition!
I hope to see you at the next Roundtable.

PS: I’m willing to bet that if you ONLY showed up for the weekly
Praxis Roundtables over Zoom and met the collectors, curators and dealers that are there, without doing ANYTHING else, you will at the very least 3X your investment right away.
Which is why I offer a money back guarantee if you are not happy.
