advantages of a specialized publisher
What are the advantages of a specialized publisher?
There are not many platforms, venues, or publications dedicated to experimental art. Sure, there are those who claim to feature 'everything', but when you actually look at their curatorial standards, their curation seems to be on the 'safe' side.
Unfortunately, most curators / arts administrators / editors / jurors are not willing to take risks with unfamiliarity. There are really two types of curators...The ones who are looking for art which appears a certain way. And the other type of curators who are genuinely seeking originality, these particular individuals are more rare to come by.
Point Pleasant Publishing is specialized on experimental art...because frankly, there really are not enough platforms for visual art with investigative practices, which are outside the mainstream.
What are the benefits of a 100% human-written critical essay on an artist's work?
A well-written, entirely human-authored critical analysis of your art makes you appear professional when you are applying for high-quality proposals. Some galleries and institutions will not even take an artist seriously unless they have been critically published in a reputable book, newspaper, journal, or publication by a genuine human author.
Another benefit of a human-created written analysis of your work will also allow you to rethink how others view your conceptual intentions. One element you will learn in perception would be everyone will have a different interpretation of your work than you. Although the experience may be similar with others, not everyone has quite the same impressions as the artist with their art.
If you plan on having a solo exhibition sometime in the future, having a book, journal, or newspaper article in print to show guests at your reception makes you appear much more professional and prestigious as they realize you have been critically recognized for your work outside of personal circles.
Finally, a human-written critical essay is quality exposure and a record on your art. People will know your name even if they did not read the essay on your work because they will realize the texts are available. Although, those who do read the essay, especially if the analysis is well-written and insightful, will be left with a deeper reflection on your art outside of presentation and image-sharing.
