"In each case, Papapetrou’s hybrid characters are the acute embodiment of planned contexts and both predetermined and improvisational performances.

But if we’re to delve back much further into Papapetrou’s wider body of work – as the telling new survey at the Centre for Contemporary Photography, A Performative Paradox, does so astutely – a very different series of performative paradigms begin to emerge."

Are you an artist working with photography?

Do you enter online competitions, submit your images for publication, and regularly post on instagram?

Does it seem no matter what you do, you can’t get the attention of galleries, curators and other gatekeepers of the art world?

Gallery director Dooney has been listening to artists since opening his gallery in 2013 ask many of the same questions:

“How can I get an ?”

“When will I get recognition?”

“Where do I meet the right people?”

“What am I doing wrong?”

“Why doesn’t anyone give me a break?”

If you have asked yourself any of these questions, then he can help you answer them.

Over the past few years he has delivered in person workshops to over 100 artists and photographers through the bbk Berlin (Professional Association of Visual Artists in Berlin) and the Neue Schule für Fotografie (The New School of Photography).

This is the first time the course will be adapted for online delivery and you are invited to be part of the exclusive initial cohort of artists.

Throughout this online workshop we will talk about your artistic career goals and aspirations.

Discuss what the art world is, what the art market is, and where photography fits.

Your product as a photographic artist, typically prints or photo books.

Logic behind editions and pricing.

How to craft your artist statement and build your CV.

The importance of your website and online presence, including mailing lists and social media.

Plus the opportunities that exist through competitions & prizes, portfolio reviews and artist residencies.
