Curator Method
The work leads. Everything else follows. The Curator Method is a structured curatorial collaboration designed to deepen the work itself and position an artistic practice within a contemporary and professional context.
It unfolds through a series of focused one to one conversations that build on each other and move the work forward with intention.
The process is confidential and deliberately paced, allowing the practice to mature from concept to presentation with coherence and depth. This is not a course and not a coaching programme. It is a curator led method grounded in judgement, context and direction.
Who this is for
The Curator Method is suited to artists who:
-
seek direction rather than reassurance
-
want depth and internal coherence within their practice
-
are ready to engage with their work at a professional level
-
wish to understand how their work functions in relation to context and audience
This collaboration requires commitment and a willingness to examine the practice as a whole rather than individual works in isolation.
How the Method works
The Curator Method consists of five curator led conversations over approximately three months.
Each conversation builds on the previous one and advances the work with intention.
The structure follows a deliberate progression:
-
The work
-
Concept and direction
-
Narrative
-
Positioning and presentation
-
The next stage
What you receive
As part of the Curator Method you receive:
-
five curator led development conversations
-
preparation and curatorial review of the work
-
written direction or summary where appropriate
-
clarity on concept, narrative and artistic identity
-
professional positioning and a defined next step
The focus is on coherence, judgement and sustainable direction rather than quick fixes or surface level feedback.
What this is not
The Curator Method is not coaching. It does not include representation, promotion or informal feedback outside the agreed framework.
This is a formal curatorial collaboration, centred on the work and its professional context.
What happens next
The Curator Method can be requested directly. After your request is reviewed, we begin with a short alignment conversation to confirm focus, scope and timing before the collaboration starts.
Investment
The Curator Method is offered at a fixed fee for the full five session trajectory. Details are shared upon request.
Artists who begin with an Art Consult may have that investment credited in full toward the Curator Method should we move forward.
A structured instalment option is available for artists ready to commit to the full collaboration.
