The Exit Report

American artist Brad Troemel in The Exit Report implores: QUIT THE ART WORLD BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE! Don’t do that MFA programme, don’t move to New York and certainly don’t do cocaine with that curator whose Dad owns a successful tech company. Detailing the failures and unsustainable economics of the art world and its inevitable crash, The Exit Report asks: Do artists have to appeal to galleries? Do artists have to go to art school? Do we need middlemen such as curators and collectors? What would art look like if it was completely severed from galleries, institutions and art fairs? What are the alternatives to ‘hustling’?
