Season Five of Interview With An Artist is Gallery Directors from around Australia.
Luke Potkin’s high school art teacher, Mr Howles, had little faith Luke would end up in the art world. How wrong he was. As Fair Director of The Other Art Fair Sydney, Luke is in a dream role. Marrying his love of art and his expertise in events.
The Other Art Fair can be a rite of passage for emerging artists. And with it coming up in Sydney on the 11th to the 14th of May, I thought it might be good to hear from Luke.
In today’s episode, we talk about:
the role of the fair in the Australian art ecosystem
the interesting dynamic of the fair being both a collaborative and competitive space
the traits of artists and booths that do well
an incredible story about an artist and collector interaction at the London fair
and a story about the one that got away, with a difference
