Out of SPACE SPACE

This episode is focussed on ‘how to show your work’ and is one of two practical ‘how to’ guides (the other focuses on ‘how to carry on practising’). 
Showing work usually means engaging with a gallery but negotiating the world of galleries can be very confusing for emerging artists (and established artists to be honest), as there are so many different categories and sub-categories such as commercial, not-for profit, institutional, artist-run, hire spaces etc, all with their own ways of working. For many artists gallery representation is a sought-after validation of their status. But can we have a successful career without this? If we do work with a gallery how much commission should we expect to pay on the works we sell? And if we don't, how do we figure out the price we should sell our work at? To discuss these questions, Cathy is joined by artist Hannah Brown and curator / gallerist Kristian Day.

This episode is one of two practical ‘how to’ guides (the other will look specifically at how to show your work). Together with artists Milly Peck and Luke Burton, Cathy explores the things we can seek out, do, and engage with, that will move our career forward and bring our work to the attention of the artworld, and very importantly allow us time, space (and motivation) to develop as an artist.
