The Artful Infiltration - Unlocking the Gates of the Art World

  • Summary

  • In this episode of "There Is No_System," host Brian Behm takes you on an adventurous journey through the art world, likening it to a masterfully planned heist. As an art director, designer, and musician from Austin, Texas, Brian delves into the challenges artists face when breaking into their desired scenes. He addresses the roadblocks that might be holding you back, whether they're personal doubts, community dynamics, or larger-than-life challenges (Godzilla, anyone?).

    Brian explores the concept of artistic gatekeeping and the irony of punk-rock capitalism, highlighting the sometimes contradictory nature of anti-establishment movements. He emphasizes the importance of recognizing and combating gatekeeping, both externally and within our own ideological tribes.

    The episode further delves into the intricacies of navigating the art world with a heist-like strategy. Brian discusses assembling a diverse "crew" of artists, curators, and other key players, each bringing unique skills to the table. He shares personal anecdotes from his experiences in Austin's film scene, his volunteer work at SXSW, and his journey to his current role at Emergent Order, illustrating how strategic networking and skill utilization can lead to success.

    Brian encourages listeners to embrace diversity in artistic voices and reject monolithic views of art. He concludes with the "Gatekeeper Challenge," inviting the community to engage with and reflect on their role in artistic gatekeeping.
