Viral Art Video - Why did everyone love this?
Published: Wed, 05/03/23
I post video tours of galleries in NYC every week, but this one went off the charts.
I think the art and story just struck a chord, but I really don’t know.
A studio tour can be like that - why did the curator like your work?
Because it struck a chord, and it’s not something you can predict.
So guess what?
This is the perfect opportunity to reach out to curators and invite them for a virtual studio visit. Getting them to say “yes” is easier now than it has ever been - even if you don’t know the curator personally.
Check this out:

“I just took the plunge and asked the curator of the Bluecoat in Liverpool if he would like to do a zoom studio visit and he said he’d love to! He really missed studio visits! We’re booked in next week.” - Margaret (Praxis Center student)

And she didn’t even know this curator well before she approached him:

So I encourage you to take the plunge and reach out to curators.
And if you need help with that - with setting up the kind of studio visit that leads to solo shows, and press, and sales, then come join me for the free masterclass I’m teaching next week:

You will discover the exact same method Matthew Barney used to conduct his studio visit with Guggenheim’s Chief Curator Nancy Spector (and learn how to adapt it to your virtual visit).
Want to have multiple virtual visits per month from powerful curators?
Then the insider information you’ll discover on this workshop is the next best thing to having a relative in the Serpentine Galleries.
And a relative inside the Guggenheim’s Board of Directors.
And a relative inside Tate Modern’s Board of Trustees.
And a relative inside the National Council on the Arts.
Short of having Hans Ulrich Obrist as a father or brother (🤷♂️), or being the love child of celebrity, it is the easiest way to stack the deck in your favour.
Register for the workshop (it’s free) and see why...
I hope to see you on Monday.
Best,
