Wet Canvas goes head to head with Your Art Escort!

I made a post a while ago and Greg from Wet Canvas checked in.... The RED is his responses: A little sarcastic I thought....
Hi Greg....
O.k. let's talk.... I am currently looking and writing a piece about the upcoming show and clearly you have an opinion... I am usually willing to hear people out... So can I ask you some open questions that are to educate me and are not loaded questions...

Beyond the Venice Biennale & Chianciano, does Florence have one? 
yes thet do

How many total does Italy have?

try Google for a count, I have not time to do your reseach.

How many total in the world? 
as above

Any statistics?
What's your take on Vittorio Sgarbi?

I don't have an opinion

Vanity by definition is the excessive belief in one's own abilities or attractiveness to others. 
Vanity Galleries and exhibitions are those that make a profit from artists rather than by selling art. Often with false promises of success. 
Do you think they will not achieve something great in time or are they putting on shoes a little too big, too quick? I look forward to hearing from you.

Who are they, the Artists? or the Biennale of Chianciano? The relevant question is who will make a profit from the artists participation? If it was likely to be the artists unfortunate enough to take part, the Biennale could earn their money from the commission on sales and referrals plus the door receipts. Not by charging exhorbitant fees to submit online, and $4-600 just to hang a painting. And don't forget the other costs of shipping, insurance and paying the Biennales handlers to unpack and repack the works.... whiuch hasn't been mentioned.
Why not ask the Biennale how many sales were made from the last exhibition for a measure of the success? 

Ciao from Umbria..


From You Art Escort:
I did my homework and I am impressed... I suggest you do yours...
P.S. I interviewed numerous people internationally to "source" and create this wiki page. How about you, who are your sources? Just you? Apparently you don't even have time to do your own home work...
