The Artist in the Marketplace
An Interview with Charlotte Cotton director of cultural programing Art and Commerce
her education made her unemployable in photography no skills anyone would pay her for, worked as a volunteer at the V & A went on to be assistant curator then curator of photography at the V & A "photographs are often illustrations of arguments rather than objects at the centre of your thinking"
democracy of photography and art photography medium gets codified - what a photographer creates when no one is paying for it new practioners are more likely to associated their work with galleries rather than magazines decline of picture magazines Photography was once a basment of institutions the magazine work was once a brilliant oportunity for all kinds of work documentary or essay people being motivated to create their own magazines you need support from a few people from the same generation to get their support - finding people who share your values - where else can real diologue happen? where do you go for an honest opinion? dont wait to be anoninted it is more demographic when the maker can be his or her own disributer."fashion is a culturaly and undervalued form of photography considered as an artist "a carrear sounds more like being organised and getting paid than what really motivates artists" "an artist needing to have a conversation with themselves when your work is ready to be seen beyond your safe circle, really about what you want from life"
