04 May 2022
I’ve been wanting to bring a curator’s perspective to this show for a long time and I’m so happy that I held out for Angelik Vizcarrondo-Laboy. Glitter-loving, down-to-earth and super fun to chat with, Angelik gives us some great insight into what it’s like on the curator's side of the exhibitions, the behind-the-scenes of putting together shows, how to connect with curators and navigate studio visits, and all things humor, cuteness and leisure. We talked about… What she does an an independent curator Being independent v. working at an institution Subjectivity, compromise and the ways that curators do and don’t have power Her process for curating a show The aesthetics of optimism: why it’s been marginalized in the past and why it’s having a moment now Minimalism and privilege How to connect with and develop a relationship with curators Do’s and don’ts of studio visits Tips for artists moving forward FOLLOW ANGELIK https://www.angelikvizcarrondo.com/ listen to Clay in Color: https://www.brickyardnetwork.org/clayincolor SUPPORT THE SHOW Visit patreon.com/devonwalz for exclusive bonus episodes each month FOLLOW THE SHOW @artandmagicpodcast @devonwalzart www.devonwalz.com
