Learn how to navigate the often turbulent seas of the art world from prestigious artist Brainard Carey.
In this succinct volume, Author Brainard Carey, an artist himself with prestigious exhibitions like the Whitney Biennial under his belt, draws on more than twenty years of experience in the art world and distills 1,900 interviews from Yale University radio of artists and curators that explain how they manage and maintain their art careers.
In The Problem with the Art World: An Artist’s A-Z Navigation Guide, Carey will cover:
-The Artist Statement (how to write it)
-Grants (how to get them)
-Gallery Exhibitions (how to approach a gallery)
-Museum Exhibitions (how to approach a museum)
-Alternative Spaces (finding and applying)
-Residencies (how to apply and why)
And much more! The Problem with the Art World is an A-Z guide on the best path to take and the best choices to make in the unpredictable art world.
The art world as the press talks about it is a very small slice of artists who working in a particular way, and most artists don’t fit in to that definition. Because of that, there is confusion and artists tend to feel like they are on the outside looking in at a rigged system of which they are victims. But that is simply not the case. For the busy artist, this book contains your cheat-notes on how to get shows, sales, and build a support system for your art. There are multiple art worlds and to think that the artist is being sidelined by one is inaccurate. The artist should focus on their art, as they are visionaries, and that is all that matters. The Problem with the Art World will give you the ability to do that.
