Chapter One

Reading #2
Chapter 1

• Art is always changing, as well as the attention span for it
• A career in this field will have much unexpectedness, and ups & downs
• The gallery system has become the main way art reaches the public
• Acceptance by a gallery brings the art to the attention of critics and collectors and coveys worth
• Established exhibition spaces fall into seven categories: museums, nonprofit galleries, alternative spaces, commercial galleries, university galleries, artist co-ops, and online galleries.
• Eighth category- nontraditional venues
• People involved include the artist, the curator, the art dealer, the art consultant, the agent, the art collector, and the critic
• You must take your career into your own hands, galleries wont just come to you

Chapter one was definitely interesting. The title itself “The World of Possibilities” really gets the concept in a nutshell. We have the ability to do just about anything if we are dedicated and persistent.

I thought the artist Navin Rawanchaikul from Bankok was pretty interesting. What he does is drive a seemingly normal taxicab that actually has a gallery in the backseat. Eventually due to the increase in interest of the moving gallery Navin created a schedule of expected daily stops. He changes the shows monthly with a diverse group of different artists.
