[seriplop]

yeah but we are strictly focusing on our installation and sculpture work. If you haven't seen it , Seripop - Yannick Desranleau and Chloe Lum - Home .
we're starting to work with a gallery so it's no gonna be kosher to sell our own stuff any longer.

we're starting to work with a gallery so it's no gonna be kosher to sell our own stuff any longer.

This is just not the case. The gallery should have first shot at selling things they are interested but if they aren't interested in something you make or cannot sell something then you have every right to sell it yourself or through another gallery. The successful artists I work with have multiple galleries selling their work and even then if they have something that the galleries don't want (i.e. editioned prints LOL) then they sell them themselves.

Do not sign a contract with a gallery either. There is never anything in a contract with gallery/artist that helps the artist unless the gallery is agreeing to special payment terms (i.e production costs or greater split for the artist).

I guess I should rephrase and say that it's not gonna be kosher for us to have tons of inexpensive poster work for sale online , making us look like a cheap date. Just doing our part to "pro up". Hi Luther!

[Josh Rickun]

sure would be nice if all your shows weren't in canada though

[seriplop]

There's just a really great network of non profit venues in Canada that are kind of ideal for the work we doing (since most of it is unsalable). It's not that obvious to show ephemeral installation work in the US outside of the museum circuit.

Ok, just wanted to be sure you weren't throwing the baby out with the bath water. Proud of you guys keep up the good work.

[seriplop]

Thanks for looking out for us , been doing our homework pretty intensely and the gallerist we are working with is cool, easy going and has a great rep with artists and curators he's worked with so the whole thing feels pretty super duper. We aren't locked into any exclusivity deal or anything shady.

We have some newer , more ambitions prints on the way ( they are done , just need to get 'e to our photographer) but they are most likely out of budget of any of our peers. Hence the heads up on the last call.
