hope producing
I hope to make the process of producing my take of the Biennial a transparent and interesting one for artists.
activities
Artists who take on curatorial activities have the advantage of negating the professional hurdles and limitations comprising institutions.
active art artists believes course education fact good higher institute obvious school seem studio teaching win
The School of the Art Institute is an extraordinary teaching institution by the fact that it believes that active studio artists are good teachers. That may seem an obvious statement, but in higher education, it is often the student's course evaluations that win the day with administrators.
work
Location is all about the efficiency of work for me.
close experience farm inner learning museum organized poor power seeing suburban thrives wasted
The whole experience co-curating the Biennial was a learning experience. The Suburban and The Poor Farm are not institutions. They are not by design, organized around power structures. Because I am someone who thrives on delineating context, seeing up close the inner workings of the museum was not wasted on me.
art artists less orbit profession regard relationship state vigorous
Contemporary curators orbit in the place of distribution and consumption, and less and less in the space of artists. I think it has become a lazy profession in regard to its relationship to the artists and the vigorous state of art making.
