episode 10: Carrie Scott: from headlines to loosing jobs and finding your place in the (art) world.
This is SUCH a fun and honest conversation, an essential listen to anyone navigating the tricky paths of the art world.
Carrie is one of our 2021 mentors and an amazing multifaceted professional.
Carrie Scott is an American/English curator, art historian, TV presenter and art writer living in London.
Over the past 16 years, she has worked with numerous galleries, businesses, collectors, and artists worldwide. While at the University of Washington, Seattle doing a Master’s in Art History, Scott worked with James Harris where she curated the first solo show of Rashid Johnson’s work outside of Chicago.
From there she went on to be Director of Nicole Klagsbrun Gallery in New York. In 2009, when the financial world was in total chaos, Scott launched her own business, at once an art consultancy, gallery, and curatorial endeavor that exists beyond the walls of the traditional gallery.
Over the past 11 years, she has had the privilege of working closely with numerous artists, including Nick Knight, Marina Shacola, The Harold Feinstein Estate, and Federico Pestilli, helping them establish strong and sustained markets. In 2018, Scott curated the largest independent photography show ever for the Store x, 180 Strand, A Shade of Pale, exhibiting 470 photographs and most remarkably featuring 320 images from John Pawson’s series Spectrum suspended in space.
Scott has published numerous articles and essays on artists and appeared as a presenter on The Art Show, where she interviewed artists in their studios. In 2020, Scott teamed up with David Hill a curator and gallerist in London to present Harold Feinstein’s work, as well as a groundbreaking exhibition on West African Portraiture. For 2021, they will debut new work by Ben Hassett and Rachidi Bissiriou with two solo shows.
