Are there asusumptions about your relation to gatekeepers, that are imprtant to notice? Was gibt es für Annahmen zur Beziehung mit Gatekeeper*innen?

• gatekeeper needs to take time to hear artists
• they will never see the value of my work
• respect each other boundaries --> discuss: how do we communicate with each other
• the real art ist made in the big institutions - I am freelancing, therefore my art is not important
• the pleasure of gatekeepers
• how to start an exchange about interests between:
  artist and curators - audience and Institution - artists and artists -  artists and audiences - all?
• transparency on both sides
• hierarchy is not needed
• gatekeepers are perhaps not really gatekeepers at all?
• funding structures:
  do they want to fund in order to fund, or do they want to put people on their feet so that they no longer need funding?
• the fear of the application is greater than the fear of the audience at the end of the process
• fear of the gatekeeper not knowing me.
