"I’ve always wanted to be around artists. I’m a fan. It’s the artists who have told me who is interesting for pretty much my entire career. Elizabeth Peyton told me about Kai Althoff, and my husband told me about Elizabeth Peyton. Elizabeth introduced me to Laura Owens, too—I have to give her that. Gabriel Orozco told me about Luc Tuymans. Chris Ofili told me about Tomma Abts. Mark Grotjahn told me about Mary Weatherford. Artists are my secret weapon, which I happily tell to everybody that I know. "
MoMA Curator Laura Hoptman
MoMa Curator Laura Hoptman stresses the importance of networking.
Artists get well known because of their connective network.
Networking is not the best way to get to art - but no art can reach a artworld without a network.
To much dismay, art nowadays depend on 100% on networking. Even in art schools say that what divide art of craftwork is the art community.
In this way, I think that the first network is where do you go to art school. Some have a "yellow brick road" to mainstream artworld
Art school often is the doorway to a network
- An art network should be evolving as a rhizome (Deleuze )
That means in a natural manner.
- and not exclusive as it does today
So art school are an entrance to exclusive systems?
Isn't every school exclusive by evaluation?
Art schools are chosen for their exclusivity
Students love to enroll in a school where teachers are famous and only a limited number are chosen.
