As an artist wanting to share my artworks with others. A relationship with a gallery is of great importance. To that aim in asking understanding as to what I do. I should better understand what it is they do. Thanks CAI!
Hey Julien! Daniel here. Got to ask your thoughts on Pinterest. You have detailed several social media platforms. With slight mention to Pinterest. Perhaps another video that skews more of your thoughts in this direction? Pinterest gives me a budget friendly way to work out ideas. Manage them in a user friendly forum/art space. To see how that plays out along side other works/artist. Too, their pictorial library/archive is wonderful for research and pairing. I can view all kinds of art from curiosities, enthusiastic learners to professional works. Am I in error? Does this pursuit hinder my career path towards a gallery? So yes if possible a deeper dive video on social media platforms and their use importance both as a personal use of support and a professional tool for success. Wish all best to you and the CAI family and continued success!
Julien. My request for a deeper look at social media outlets Pinterest in particular for artist has no merit at my membership level. In your video detailing with Instagram one can easily extrapolate something applying to all these platforms. I’ll return to the subject in future when I up my membership. As I am looking for something more personally tailored to me and my pursuits. I believe this is the proper way. The best way to get what I’m after which too may take some back and forth to flesh out. All best! Daniel.
Can you do a video about throwing your own art show? I’m thinking about maybe saving some money and renting a space to do my own solo shows since I’m a self taught artist. I’m applying for residencies but I don’t want to wait who knows how long to get a chance to do a solo show. I’m just not sure how to do the marketing for something like this.
Great idea! I have written it down-on my rather extensive to-do list however-and believe this is a great topic to cover that should be covered as I often talk about this. Thank you!
Hi. Will you do a video on Belgian painters through the ages? I have question a interview of an artist mention person took one way ticket to USA New York and just went there to be artist. Was no further explaining, but it seems bit odd to omit mention of Visas, Esta, showing finances, hotel etc. USA is very strict via airport. A other artist years ago told about using Artist Visa and delayed stays in Germany, UK then landed also in New York stay there. For us euros who tend to follow the rules. Like how? Supposed you wanted to accept the challenge white belgian young artist guy one way ticket to New York.....might be an idea for a video.....perhaps. Greetings from old lady who visit Belgium few times....but failed to find belgian art supplies shop.😊
… I wonder about your view…and a little perspective into the role of the art center in Mexico. Namely in Mexico City. From my short introduction to this area… it seems to be growing in world significance. Merci and all the best to you too.
I have been selling my work directly to the customer for 40 years. I have a number of collectors who buy my work before it is finished. Now I regret that because I have built up little or no fame in the "art world". At the same time, I am actually very proud of what I have achieved through my own efforts.
@@renzo6490 Now that I think about it, it doesn't interest me at all. I am proud of what I have achieved without the "Art world" Thank you for your comment.
@@REALArtChannel Glad to hear it ! ''I cannot emphasize enough how much you need to create something....anything. It doesn’t matter if you're lousy. You don’t need to monetize it, or make it your career. You can restart an old hobby; you can start from scratch. it doesn’t matter. You just need to hold something and be able to say “I did that”. ..baking, drawing, painting, writing, crafts, whatever. Make something ! It’s fun. It’s great in its own right. But the single best action to make yourself feel better, to calm your mind, to gain self esteem, is to Create !''
Much to learn here. Thank you for making these fine discernments in view of the Art World at large. It can be overwhelming or motivating…especially the enthusiastic galleries finding niches discovering talents. Julien are you suggesting really to emulate other artists that are ‘prominent’…. or is it to observe the quality of the pre rations please? In Gratitude Sincerely Janet
Emulation can be done-but I do not advise it, nor anything that would come close to imitation. What I do advise is to understand the subtle complexities of contemporary art exemplified in everything established artists do; how they build their oeuvre from different series of work, create continuity while adding new elements, how they integrate new materials, how they present their shows, etc. Wishing you all the best!
Good video, but … it seems that it says that to be a great/famous artist you must conform to current taste. If the point is to make money, is it art? And if so, what is the difference with, say, creating advertisements?
Let me begin by telling you that when my brother was just starting school, he rebelled at the rules of spelling. Why did words have to be spelled in a particular way? Why couldn't he spell them as HE wanted to spell them? He resented the rules and he resisted the authority of those who made them ! Keep this in mind. I think that Conceptual art originated with people who could not and would not do the difficult work required to become a 'traditional' artist. Can't master the necessary skills ? No knowledge of perspective? Can't draw? Don't want to have to learn color theory? Can't master composition? No knowledge of human anatomy? Can't render tonal values Can’t be bothered ? These are skills that you have to WORK to perfect. It’s difficult. It takes…..effort. But, you want a fast track to the exalted position of "artist “. Well then, belittle the importance of those skills and debase the notion that they are a prerequisite to creating art. Instead, create an art genre that you CAN do. A new genre. And let's call it Conceptual art. Conceptual artists claim that IDEAS and CONCEPTS are the main feature of their art. They can slap anything together and call it ''conceptual art'' confident that viewers will find SOMETHING to think about it no matter how banal or trivial the artist's concept! There is no way conceptual art pieces can be judged. The promoters of this art have attacked the motives and credibility of authorities and critics who might disparage the work. They have rejected museums and galleries as defining authorities. They reject the idea that art can be judged or criticized . All of this results in a decline in standards. And when you jettison standards, quality suffers. There really IS such a thing as BAD art ! We know this only because we have standards and criteria by which such things can be evaluated. It seems that conceptual art comes down to a basic idea: No one has the right or authority to make any judgements about art ! Art is anything you can get away with ! A whole new language has been created to give the work an air of legitimacy and gravitas. Conceptual art is 'sold' to the unwary public with ....."ArtSpeak". ArtSpeak is a unique assemblage of English words and phrases that the International Art world uses but which are devoid of meaning! Have you ever found yourself confronted by an art gallery’s description of an exhibition which seems completely indecipherable? Or an artist’s statement about their work which left you more confused than enlightened? You’re not alone. Here are examples of ArtSpeak: 'Works that probe the dialectic between innovations that seem to have been forgotten, the ruinous present state of projects once created amid great euphoria, and the present as an era of transitions and new beginnings.'' Or ''The exhibition reactivates his career-long investigation into the social mutations of desire and repression. But his earlier concerns with repression production--in the adolescent or in the family as a whole--give way to the vertiginous retrieval and wayward reinvention of mythical community and sub-cultural traditions.'' This language is meant to convince me that there is real substance to this drivel which is being passed off as art. I don't buy it. But plenty of other people DO buy it. Not because they love the work. They are laying out enormous sums in the belief that their investment will bring them high returns in the future. One Jeff Koons conceptual piece is three basketballs suspended in a fish tank. commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Three_Ball_Total_Equilibrium_Tank_by_Jeff_Koons,_Tate_Liverpool.jpg Here is Koons' own ArtSpeak explanation of his floating basketball 'concept' verbatim: “ This is an ultimate state of being. I wanted to play with people’s desires. They desire this equilibrium. They desire pre-birth. I was giving a definition of life and death. This is the eternal. This is what life is like, also, after death. Aspects of the eternal” Rather lofty goals for 3 basketballs suspended in a fish tank!! It sold for $350,000. I wonder what it would have fetched without Koons' name attached to it. Or take the case of Martin Creed's ball of crumpled white copy paper. www.abebooks.com/signed/Work-sheet-paper-crumpled-ball-Creed/7404135374/bd He made almost 700 of them! Some sold for hundreds of dollars. Martin Creed, when asked during an interview how he would respond to those who say the crumpled paper ball isn’t art said : “ I wouldn’t call this art either. Who says, anyway, what’s good and what’s bad?” Interviewer: ''When confronted with conceptual art, we shouldn’t worry whether it’s art or not because no one really knows what art is.'' Is this what art has come to?? _________________________________ Something radical has happened to the art scene in the past 60 years. Cubism slid into non-representational art....what is often called Abstract. Abstract or non-representational art is a legitimate and often profound genre. But to many people, it appeared as if this new style had no structure, principles or standards of evaluation. It’s markings seemed random and arbitrary. Something that anyone could do. Any composition of blotches or scribbles was “Abstract Art”. This was the slippery slope that led to the abandonment of standards in art. ''Art is what I say it is''. ....and lots of people jumped on the art bandwagon. Anyone can be an artist. Anyone can mount a show. And who is to say if it has value or not ? A tacit agreement has formed among critics, galleries, publications and auction houses to promote and celebrate certain artists and styles. Objects with no artistic merit are touted and praised . Their value increases with every magazine article, every exhibition in a prestigious gallery. And when they come up for auction, sometimes the auction houses will lend vast sums to a bidder so that it appears as if the work of the particular artist is increasing in value. The upward spiral begins and fortunes are made. And many are reluctant to declare that the Emperor is, in fact, naked lest they appear boorish unsophisticated Philistines ! This is what dominates the art market today. The love of money is the root of all evil. It has corrupted politics. It has corrupted sport. It has corrupted healthcare. It has corrupted religion. And now it has corrupted art. But, there is reason to hope. As much of the wisdom of the Greeks and Romans was kept alive through the Middle Ages in small pockets of learning and culture, ateliers have sprung up around the world that are devoted to preserving and handing down the traditional visual arts: drawing, painting and sculpting to each new generation. And when this craze for conceptual art has burned itself out and when visual art is no longer looked on as mere decoration and when schools that have dissolved their art programs want to reestablish them again, the world will find these skills preserved through the atelier movement.
There has never been a better time to be an artist, because while it requires strategic planning and work, we now have social media and with that you can bypass gatekeepers. I’ve known multiple artists that had no way in to this network or didn’t even have an art education but because they built a loyal following online, the galleries came to them instead
