Studio visit secrets curators wish their artists knew
Published: Sun, 05/07/23
What Artists Don’t Know About Curators’ Expectations - And Curators Are Too Embarrassed To Tell Them. As many as half of all curators do NOT become curious when an artist starts “explaining” their work. And often they are too polite to say anything.
What To Say To A Curator When You Invite Them Into Your Studio To Make Them Smile Immediately And Love You. Yes, even if you’re feeling shy and vulnerable and awkward no matter what stage you are in from emerging to mature.
Early Warning Signs That A Curator’s Interest Is Waning. What cues to look for and how to turn it around so they decide to feature you in their next show (and sometimes even buy work for their museum).
How To Present Yourself (And Stay In Power Throughout The Studio Visit) So That You Don’t Come Across As Insecure, Boring Or Defensive. Detailed instructions from The Guggenheim Museum’s Chief Curator.
Unspoken Rules That Can Make or Break Your Studio Visit. Insider etiquette which major artists will never tell you about.
All this (and more) is exactly what I want to teach you on Monday’s workshop (8th June at 1:00 pm EST):

And the best part?
I will lift the hood and show you how to lead the curator by the nose through the visit using the exact method Matthew Barney used with Guggenheim’s Chief Curator Nancy Spector.
(When I interviewed her for Yale University Radio, she told me that this was the exact same method Matthew Barney used to conduct her studio visit with him.)
