Morning Nela, I feel your thoughts over coffee and I echo them myself. I think it’s something that really needs to be worked out because clearly it’s not the best place to curate art works. I think what we are doing now through these notes are what this place is about at the moment and in the near future. Having worked for art fairs myself I found the whole experience exhausting and fiat driven rather than actual talent. Not that this has or will be your experience but I’m trying to sound out more grassroot artists on here and maybe helping them grow. The idea of maybe having a gallery show at #nostr events in the future and giving everyone a platform.

yes:) I deliberately uploaded images without curating them and wanted to try something. Think of a possible auction or application on Nostr that would adequately showcase art and artists. We now know that multiple images in one thread is a bit drowning. To chat to it is a bit complicated. Nevertheless, Pictures are prominent on my own profile. If one arranges pictures one after the other + small points as an indication that there is a series to see, this can be overlooked and I sees only one picture on my profile. Also, how do you want to present yourself as an artist ..I will soon photograph a surreal nude series, how do I use the good Nostr features and still have maximum attention and also external impact ? Ahhh, those morning Coffee Thoughts :) I am actually volunteering at this project .. Artist and Art are here very nice presented. https://instagram.com/bb_artweeks?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=

I am with you on every point. Our project is based on our own initiative and has supporters such as temporary use of the location and support for the artists through foundations, etc.. Nevertheless, we do everything from curating artists to painting halls, building moving walls etc. We do this because we want to act independently and give artists a platform they otherwise would not have. I would also like to exchange more with you, it's always good to learn something and maintain synergies.
It’s so important to have those supporters because most events in art just won’t happen. Having you and the rest of the team working really hard to make it happen is what needs to be applauded here. All those artists should be very grateful for that leg up. Happy to connect any time and learn from you also.
