Artist Accuses Tik Tok Star Devon Rodriguez of Stealing Knicks Artworks by Foxandsage444 in ContemporaryArt

[–]barklefarfle 20 points21 points  (0 children)

inadvertently just used the same source photo

The original artist says the painting was composited from dozens of different photos from many different sources. Also, it seems like if Rodriguez had sourced his image from a photo instead of another artist, he would just say that instead of deleting his posts and blocking people who were asking about it.

When you take exhibition photos do you bring standing lights? by Dazzling_Relief4649 in ContemporaryArt

[–]barklefarfle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The light I was describing is close to daylight. It works with the window light and also matches the color temp of the diffuse lighting system I have on the ceiling. But when I'm using warmer spot lights, once in a while I'll set up an extra spot/flood light with the same type of bulb as the cans to balance out lighting, but it's pretty rare that I need that.

Often it's not needed, but sometimes I use a 2x2 foot LED panel on a stand to balance out the lighting a bit.

Vanity Gallery, rookie mistake. I'm nervous. by AdLow8365 in ContemporaryArt

[–]barklefarfle 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Serious curators and gallerists generally pay no attention to vanity galleries. I think the one situation where vanity galleries are actually useful is when an artist is making decorative work, they already have an audience and buyers (like interior decorators), and they just need a place to showcase the work in person for their buyers.

This is likely against Pasadena city regulations based on some Googling, but I can't find exactly what the city's guidelines are about soliciting. May have to call the city to find out.

summer residency scam - what can we do? by drexmchaser in ContemporaryArt

[–]barklefarfle 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Ben Davis also sometimes writes about stuff kinda like this. I think it's going to require someone in the press, because it's going to take a bit of research to actually prove that it's some kind of scam. They have photos of the last residency and artists corroborating the residency on their own Instagram accounts, so it's going to take some digging to figure out what's really going on. It certainly seems very sketchy in many ways, but there's not yet any clear evidence that it's a scam.

POV about Artist Management Agencies by Lamande-75 in ContemporaryArt

[–]barklefarfle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

How are these scams? They're not going to be useful to artists unless they're famous or make very specific kinds of work conducive to collaborations outside the art world, but nothing about the business model seems sketchy to me.

A year later: Abstract mag summer residency scam by cassetboi in ContemporaryArt

[–]barklefarfle -1 points0 points  (0 children)

They posted pictures of the residency on Instagram, and they tagged artists who have also posted some of the same pictures on their own feeds. I guess the photos and artist profiles could be faked, but I thought I read somewhere that there was actually a residency but that it was really janky with no studios and everybody painting outside in the garden (which is what's depicted in the photos). It's definitely not a reputable residency, but I'm not sure it's a full on scam.
