When 100,000 people find an artist interesting and no traditional art critics have heard of the artist it tells you that maybe the 'insiders' are now on the outside. After all, due to the internet anyone can be on the inside now because the system, if you will, has expanded beyond what the traditional market expected. Look at the art mags that are rushing to have awesome websites now. They were slow to move and now they might just be too late.Balhatainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08812426376810899256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20403719.post-75418503944401409562009-03-18T11:55:00.000-04:002009-03-18T11:55:00.000-04:00PL: Be well!

There's a few people I've curated into shows and they do not go to mine, ever. They make sure to send me an email of everything they are doing. And you're also right that they seem to refrain from seeing me as an artist. It's not useful to them.Evahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04526963554623770078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20403719.post-20505217844173565002009-03-06T09:55:00.000-05:002009-03-06T09:55:00.000-05:00Just this week I got 2 press releases/emails from ...Just this week I got 2 press releases/emails from unknown people.

I found that not only were things not reciprocal, but a lot of artists would go to very great lengths to <I>suppress</I> the fact that I was an artist, when talking with their other connections.<BR/><BR/>Now I find that I get much better results when I'm much more low-key and selective about my enthusiasm. I only write blog reviews about work that <I>blows me away.</I> I do equal swaps with other bodyworkers, and only make referrals when I've gotten some genuine good out of the trade. That way, I'm slowly building a circle of colleagues that I genuinely respect, and who genuinely like me, rather than an enormous mailing list full of parasitic mediocrities.Pretty Ladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00342833918614545778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20403719.post-22905552929860243302009-03-05T16:01:00.000-05:002009-03-05T16:01:00.000-05:00Hear, hear.

I won't even try anymore. I just look for like-minded souls and whatever grows out of that is fine with me.<BR/><BR/>When I was self-publishing and trumpeted other people's horns, though, pretty much nobody reciprocated when it was time to, for example, check out my work for potential inclusion in a show, or coming to *my* openings, so I am not doing the flip-side of that either, and not labouring on behalf of other people until I know I have some kind of existing and mutually satisfying relationship with them.<BR/><BR/>Funny thing about relationships, how they have to be reciprocal.Spatulahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02341100471594319746noreply@blogger.com
