Hey all, if you're wondering why I suddenly disappeared on Instagram it's because I've been shadowbanned for criticizing Joe Biden.
My favorite journalist Glenn Greenwald wrote an article about this whole saga (dating back to the His Brain? No. His Heart meme from April), so check it out here:

A lot of studio visits I do revolve around how to create a more consistent structure for making art on your own so I wrote this report as a practical guide for how to organize your thoughts by writing a statement.
Part 1 is an intro to why it's helpful to write a statement (whether you release it publicly or not!) and parts 2 - 6 are straight forward ideas for how to make writing a statement easier / actually useful to making new work.

We talk about art-as-draft-dodging, the early days of conceptual art, making art that's HEHE funny :D, being a DOG person, what it was like being on SNL in the 70s, selling your own work, and much much more!!

(These are for the guaranteed studio visits at the $50 tier.
Just a heads up: I won't be doing any studio visits at the $5 tier for the next few months so I can focus on doing in-depth, ongoing feedback with those who need it! )

TLDR:
$50 is now the tier if you want guaranteed, repeat access to monthly one-on-one studio visits. Limited to 10 people only.
Long version:
Hey gang, I've done ~500 studio visits with Patrons since 2017 and recognize that people go into them with a couple different motivations:
A) The majority of people just want to say hi, ask a few questions, get some quick feedback on their work, and call it a day. I appreciate these visits and have had a dope ass time ...

Hey I've been getting a bunch of prints sent back to me for having the wrong address.
If you've moved or filled out your profile in a hurry be sure to check your address is correct so I don't wind up sending a print to some random person, or worse yet, a tRump voter.
If you are one of the following people and still want your print hit me up on Instagram DMs:
Scott L****r
Sam S*****h

-Visits are half hour long, come with projects/ideas/questions ready to discuss
-It's your time we can talk about whatever you want but you have to want to talk about *something* :-)
-Send me links in advance so I can look at what you're talking about before we discuss (bradtroemel@gmail.com)
-If you've already done a studio visit don't sign up for a second one. Let someone else give it a go
-Don't sign up for a time if you're not sure you can make it

-Everyone who signed up during the print offer will have their reward honored, I PROMISE. It'll just take a little while as I attempt to balance creating daily longform effort posts...

Here it is a day early
1. Why does art cost so much?
2. Why don't galleries ever lower prices for work that doesn't sell?
3. Why do dealers bid on their own artists at auction?
4. Why aren't gallery artists allowed to sell out of their studio?
5. What does gallery representation even mean?
6. Why aren't artists paid as employees by galleries?
7. Why can only .01% of people afford art?
8. What does "protecting an artist's ma...

Alex and I talk about the art school classic 'Untitled Fall '95', selling video art in the 90s when people copied VHS tapes, being on the cover of Artforum, Alex's Manhattan public access TV show Cash From Chaos, breaking up with your dealer, and some effective strategies for making no money from art.

it's called Your Biggest Fan! It's a series of candid interviews with some of my favorite artists who've influenced me. My first guest is the legendary video artist Alex Bag :-)
YBF will be available to Patrons only and I'm aiming to release 1 new pod a month with a different artist/writer/comedian/director/cool and good person. I think you're going to be very stoked on some of the people I have in store hehe
