40. The Aesthetics of Optimism, Life as a Curator and Advice For Artists | Angelik Vizcarrondo-Laboy

Listen Later

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
