Description

Host: Alyson B. Stanfield

In this episode of The Art Biz I talk with Lori Sokoluk and Susan Purney Mark, who met in my coaching group many years ago and started a collaboration during the pandemic.

When I teach about collaboration, I’m usually talking about an exhibition or event. Lori and Susan took it to the next level and collaborated on the artwork itself—resulting in a two-person exhibition that recently closed.

I wanted to know what the artmaking process was like when you’re presented with someone else’s marks on the canvas. I think you’ll enjoy hearing about it and what they discovered during the process

We also discussed:

  • The parameters of the collaboration.
  • The challenges they faced, such as Lori’s physical limitations.
  • How they titled the pieces together (a fascinating theme and process).
  • How they divided up the business stuff.
  • How the exhibition was organized.
  • How it has affected their individual work.
  • The advice they share with any artist who is open to collaboration.
