Samenvatting
The authors investigate the opportunities and barriers faced by emerging, self-employed artists using a case study of a major contemporary art exhibition and its follow-up shows. Data from interviews indicate that the exhibition is viewed as a useful stepping-stone, offering such benefits as recognition and exposure, networking, marketing, and enhanced ambition and motivation. Only a few exhibiting artists, however, receive monetary rewards or prizes. Besides being financially challenged, most artists lack knowledge of market conditions and have a tendency to undervalue their art work. Nevertheless, many artists express no interest in developing commercial skills and have a pessimistic view of public funding, while some show signs of an anti-entrepreneurial mindset. Authors argue that permanent platforms are required in order to provide emerging artists with both tangible and emotional support. |
