Marta Cacciavillani is a curator and writer specializing in video, writing and installation.

Specifically, she puts up shows with film, video, writing and “time-based” media, and she has a poetic sensibility that brings it all together - for artists working outside of traditional forms, is that you?

We had the privilege of hosting her at a Praxis Roundtable  -- a weekly Zoom call where Praxis students meet and interact with influential collectors, curators and gallerists. 

Here are some highlights from that Roundtable:

Video Clip 1: Why some artist residencies in Italy are structured as close-knit, family-like experiences focused on specific themes such as decoloniality and urbanism. Did you know that many residencies emerge from wealthy property owners looking to host short-term programs, offering artists a space for research with accommodations and travel covered?
 

Video Clip 2: Know your rights as an art worker! While showcasing work is important, artists should also recognize the value of their time and expertise. 
 

Video Clip 3: She discusses the importance of artists valuing their own work, regardless of their level of recognition. She stresses that respect in the art world is not determined by fame but by confidence in one’s practice, warning against devaluing oneself by making unnecessary comparisons to others.
 

In summary, Marta Cacciavillani can help you if you work in time based media like video, film, installation or anything having to do with time itself to see the art.

Would you like to meet her?
 

As a Praxis member, you can!
 

• You get access to her contact information - as well as the private contact details of 300+ other prestigious collectors, curators and art dealers…
   
• When you enroll, you get access to the full, 1-hour recording of our Roundtable with her. The insights she shared will help you make a proposal to her for a show she might like to see happen.
   
• Meet a new art world insider like her every single week, live, at our Praxis Roundtable, which is a Zoom call with a different collector or curator each week… 
   
• ✨ANNUAL MEMBERS ONLY 👉 portfolio inclusion in our Praxis Center Portfolio, which we send directly to curators each month. We’ve had artists contacted for studio visits, included in group shows, and invited to submit proposals…
  
  For example:
  
  👉Praxis member Carolyn McDonald was selected by not one, but two different curators: Katherine Anne Paul and Laura Raicovich.
  
  👉Dan Cameron, the curator behind Prospect New Orleans and the man who launched Faith Ringgold's retrospective, looked through the Praxis Portfolio and picked five artists. Five. Among them: Maria-Agni, Glen Gauthier, Andrew Carnie, Udi Cassirer, and Don Keene.
  
  👉 Katherine Anne Paul from the Birmingham Museum of Art (who picked Jeffrey Hartman, Carolyn McDonald, Jordan Wong, Marco Raimondo, and Mutlu Yılmazer).
  
  👉Raphael Gygax from Kunsthaus Zurich (he chose Amy Kupferberg, Kiki Klimt, and Jamie Zimchek.)
  
  This is what happens when you build a portfolio that gets in front of decision-makers every week. This is Praxis.
   
• You’ll get my assistance to effectively reach out to the movers and shakers you meet at these Roundtables. I’ll give you two letter templates you can use, so that you don’t have to worry about what to say and will have a better chance of getting a response back.
   
• Best part? Mentoring. You can ask me to personally edit these emails and letters before you send them out to make sure that they are compelling and you don’t get ghosted.
   

Plus: you also get personal access to me, Brainard Carey, and a suite of educational guides on topics ranging from social media tactics to time management to reaching galleries and getting feedback on your art.
 

That said, 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.
