[PODCAST] ART PROBLEMS: How to be an Art World Rulebreaker without Accidentally Exiling Yourself

Written By Paddy Johnson

John Wesley at Pace Gallery

Have you ever launched an exhibition space and then tortured yourself over whether to include yourself in a show because you know it will look bad? Or struggled over whether to send an email to gallerist or a DM over Instagram because someone followed you, but you're not sure if DMing a welcome is friendly or spam?

Welcome to the world of art world taboos, which are both plentiful and entirely useless in any situation other than the most obvious examples. In this episode I identify a few of the more common taboos that trip an artist up, explain why they exist and how and when you can break them!

You're welcome!
