“When you’re an artist, there are 13 reasons to say no to a group exhibition proposal:

1. The exhibition space is awful.
2. The exhibition space is not insured.
3. The transport of works is not insured.
4. The exhibition space does not have the map.
5. The commissioner is considered mediocre.
6. The commissioner does not have the card.
7. The list of artists is considered poor.
8. Several of the selected artists do not have the card.
9. The title and concept of the exhibit is rated as poor.
10. The visual of the exhibition and the graphics of the com are rated poor.
11. Is on the list an ex with whom everything went wrong.
12. The gallery owner with whom the artist usually works is suspicious of everything, or experiences a strong anxiety of abandonment, and refuses that “his” artist takes part in the said exhibition.
13. The artist, in paranoia like the war of the clans, is afraid of attracting the evil eye of those who do not like one of the participants or one of the organizers of this exhibition.

When you are an artist, there is ultimately only one reason to say yes to a collective exhibition proposal:

1. There is no reason to say no. “
