Step Eight: Studio Visits

Prepare to Relax!

For example: My work is about perception of spatial relationships. The objects in my last installation are placed so that the objects furthest away from the viewer are smaller than they normally would be, thus exaggerating the perception of distance.

This may sound canned but it is an effective way to communicate what you want about your work and highlight your abilities. After practice, this will come naturally. Write down before hand what you want to get across and practice this. You can slightly adjust your answers to their questions. The more preparation, the better you will do.

Wrapping up

Stick to the schedule. Do not take up more time than the curator/visitor has allotted for. On the other hand if you hit it off and you are having a great time talking don¹t cut it short. Leave a good impression. Thank them for their time and consideration. Most importantly, express your interest and enthusiasm for the opportunity. Ask when you might meet again or hear from them.
