- 30. You Have My Sympathy! The talent that came before you was awesome! You are under short-term pressure to deliver You are in a tough, often gimmicky and cynical market With an over-production of art students
- 31. What Do I Look For? Above all, draughtsmanship (Sarah Tse) Something that makes me think Something that I can look at repeatedly and find something different Something where you peel off the layers of the onion. Something disorientating and strange (Haroon Mirza) But Am I Exhibiting, Curating Or Just Collecting?’
- 32. My Approach If I only need to look once, you’ve wasted my time! Go on, surprise me!” But don’t be shallow Where’s the new talent? The breakthrough Act What’s going on there? A one off show or something that bears repeated viewing? Dancing dog syndrome – you marvel that it can dance but not over how good it is
