This week on the Art Problems podcast interview series "Inside Netvvrk", I'm talking with Brent Showalter, a multidisciplinary artist whose brilliantly colored paintings and photographs transform layered compositions of color and shape into vibrating surfaces. Brent runs multiple businesses and brings that same strategic mindset to his art practice. In doing so, he's able to devote more time to his art. We talk about how his accountability group helped him finally organize his entire archive, and what it takes to feel confident when opportunity knocks—whether that's the director of the Guggenheim walking into your studio or an Instagram comment from a curator. Brent also shares how that casual comment turned into a curated opportunity in 24 hours—because he had everything ready to go. If you've been wondering whether Netvvrk is worth the investment, this conversation will help. It shows what happens when you stop reinventing the wheel and start using the tools that already work.
