We often forget that we’re not alone. It’s easy to do because you spend so much time working by yourself in the studio. But … You don’t contain to hold up the weight of a solo exhibition all by yourself.
If you get a cramped creative,you will find a whole bunch of people who would savor to be involved with your show. They would be pleased to help you install it, interpret it, or share it with others.
In my former life (a long time ago) I was an art museum curator and educator. This is exactly how we thought approximately exhibitions in the art museum: holistically.
We never installed the art and only hoped people would advance to the museum and understand the work. We spent months discussing—as a team— how we would involve others in the show. How we would help execute the art more meaningful to our visitors and,at the same time, increase chance that many more people would see the work.
This is where my guest for this episode of the podcast comes in.
