- 在職藝術家最理想的狀態就是百分百的時間只需要用在藝術創作上面, 然而現實上, 普遍地藝術家平均最多時間能夠花在創作上不會超過可用時間的3成, 一項藝術家花很多精神時間和心血完成一個作品之後, 真正的工作還剛剛開始, 例如拍照,修圖, 裝裱等等已經是基本.
- 藝術家還要想辦法把這個作品推廣出去, 例如要聯繫傳媒, 仲介商, 策展人, 出版人, 藝術專欄作家等等知道, 要不然還要自己動手去向大眾宣傳.
- 一些基礎的門面功夫: 例如至少有自己一個網站, 而且要經常更新上面的作品和資訊, 要舉辦活動的時候, 要設計海報單張畫冊等等, 就要花時間予設計師和工廠聯繫方面.
- 然而上面的所有項目還未包括在聯繫各方面的人物上面跟進的時間; 往往在這些功夫上面, 要不是不知怎樣做就是做得不足夠, 很多藝術家也是在一樣浪費了很多生命時間.
In a perfect world, every artists can devote 100% of their time to be spent on artistic creation. However, in reality, generally the maximum time an artist can spend on creation does not exceed 30% of his or her available time. Even the artist spends a lot of energy after completing a series of artworks with a lot of time and effort, but the real work has just begun, such as taking pictures, retouching pictures, mounting frames, etc. are already basic.
The artist must also find a way to promote these works, such as contacting the media, intermediaries, curators, publishers, art columnists, etc. to know, or else they must do it themselves to promote it to the public.
Some basic façade skills: For example, you need to have at least one website of your own, and you have to update the works and information on it frequently, when you want to hold an event, you need to design a poster, a single album, etc., you need to spend time to contact the designer and the factory.
However, all of the above projects have not included the time to follow up on contacting people from all aspects; often in these efforts, if they do not know what to do or do not do enough, many artists are also wasting a lot of life time.
