Write 5 page essay on the topic Interviews with industry professionals:an artist and a curator.

Discussing the best ways in which to break into a professional career with an artist is like pulling taffy with a poltergeist. One is never quite sure how the statements made about an art career are going to be relevant to creating an actual future as an artist. There is no direct path, nor is there a specific series of steps that will ensure success. The problem with finding others to appreciate one’s art is that art is subject to a great many different social contingencies that are near impossible to predict. Art is subject to the fashion of the moment, the economic climate, the point of view of the critics who are at work, and that little light at the end of the tunnel that always seems so far away when trying to reach out for it. In other words, becoming a successful artist has no formula, nor any formal framework in which to find success. However, a successful artist can provide insight into the way in which a philosophy about art must be constructed in order to create success. In order to be successful, the art must be seen, therefore goals must be set that allow work to be created for exhibitions. In discussing this aspect of being a professional artist, an interview with (her name here) has provided an interesting look into her point of view on how she has made a public name for herself as an artist. In addition an interview with Ms Cineros, a curator for Iniva, provides further exploration of how to achieve goals as a professional artist....

She looked for another medium through which she could express herself and remembered the satisfaction that she had felt when her mother had introduced her to watercolours. She reminisced about her youth, saying she had spent hours at the kitchen table creating works of art with her watercolours and paper, and in that memory she found the avenue of creative inspiration that she had been looking to find. She states that “I remembered that this was the very nature of myself and began to paint again”. When asked about how many exhibitions she had done, she stated that she wasn’t sure but thought it was between 20 and 25. The most important part of participating in exhibitions, she believed, was to “set goals and deadlines for the benefit of the work”. In regard to the success or failure of her exhibitions, she said that she had both. She believes that her successes can only be measured with the existence of her failures. One cannot exist without the other. In discussing her highest educational achievement through her art she stated that being selected for the Artist of the Day at Flowers Central was her greatest achievement. She said she had also been awarded several awards, included a few from SKC and the Eversheds Prize for Painting 2005 at Chelsea College of Art and Design. In discussing her work, she stated that all of her experiences had been a source of education. Her biggest challenge was to get her work seen, but she did not elaborate on how she managed to accomplish this goal. When asked about which organizations she had contacted in pursuit of her career, she only listed Creative Foundation, where she also stated that she keeps her studio. The work itself expresses grief and sexuality.
