A wonderful and informative read, thank you. Noah Kalina’s "Everyday" is gorgeously melancholy. I found the changing backgrounds to be just as mesmerizing as his gaze.
However I would point out that as you represent an institution you are in an unequal power relationship with artists. I would also point out that your work depends on artistic endeavour. You take advantage of and in fact you “feed” of artists and their work.
In your article I see nothing about paying artists a fair wage or price for their creative work.
There is a reason that many artists avoid institutions and “curators” like yourself. Maybe you should start to think along those lines.
Hi Stephanie, there is of course a nuanced conversation to be had about the relationship between institutions and artists, and how/when/if artists are compensated for their work. As an artist myself I am well aware of this. Usually those conversations are best started in good faith.

Yes! The backgrounds are a big part of it, showing when he moved etc.
Those takeaway points... simple, but more than enough to help crystallise one’s intention
I have found so often simple questions are the hardest to answer and the most effective
thanks for the 3 questions, you provided me 3 new ways of looking at my portfolio.
You're very welcome Gery! Thanks for reading and for the comment, very nice to know what is helpful!
Thanks for sharing some pointers regarding your curation process, Wesley. It's always great to hear how people find and look at a photographer's work.
You're welcome Alon! Thanks for the comment!
