The second Speed Portfolio Viewing took place last Sunday 25.09 in L40, kindly hosted by Verein zur Förderung von Kunst e.V. am Rosa-Luxemburg Platz. After the event we asked artists and curators for a short feedback. The pictures were taken with my ipod, so they have this illegal immigrant pixelated touch, which is actually very unlike the very clean, very white cube atmosphere of the L40. Big thanks to Sarie (the interns diaries) and Maria Santos (Have You Met...) !!!
We asked the artists: What did you like? What did you not like? Would you have done anything differently? Which curator did you find most exciting and why? Which curator did you think you did not have a lot of thing in common. How did you like the brownies..
We asked the curators: What did you like, what did you not like about the process.
What did you overall think about the quality of works presented, which were your favorite "dates"
Do you think 12 min are enough for something like this?
How important is presenting the work, would a good work lose from a bad presentation, can you give a percentage like 60-40% quality of work-smoothness of presentation.
In an ideal world do you feel a curator should be paid to spend time reviewing portfolios?
