BLOG WATCHERS: Assist me please

  1. Do you have assistants? Did you ever work for another artist, and if so, did that have any effect on the way you work?

I WISH I HAD AN ASSISTANT! 

I have once served as an assistant to another artist though.  While an undergrad student at Georgetown College I had an opportunity in an art history class to serve as an assistant to Carolann Freid.   Dr. Freid is a local artist in Georgetown, KY and unfortunately doesn't have a website.  I helped install and prepare a large installation in her backyard.  I don't really remember much from the experience other than artists are particular people and that I thought installation art was weird at the time (I was a sophomore I believe).  It was fun to hang out in her gorgeous back yard and her about some of her ramblings.

I also was a gallery director assistant while in undergrad.  That was a really wonderful experience for me.  I helped with everything.  Finding artists to exhibit, receiving, installing and de-installing work, sending thank you cards, data entry, errand running, etc. for the galleries at GC.  I really enjoyed it but I'm not sure it would be a job I would want full responsibility of- a lot of organizing and planning- which I'm not bad at, but its not fun per say.

But, yes I would love to have an assistant.  Taking applications for unpaid internship assistantship?
