4/10 & 4/17 Resources
CV
There are many ways to organize an Artist's CV. It generally starts with the artist's contact info & education background (college and special programs only), followed by a variety of headings appropriate to the artist's exhibition, publication and award history. Headings include Solo Exhibitions, Two Person Exhibitions, Selected Exhibitions, Group Exhibitions, Screenings, Performances, Commissions, Publications, Bibliography, Residencies, Awards and Honors, etc. usually beginning with Solo Exhibitions (if at least 3) or Selected Exhibitions. Notice that the categories and margins make it really easy to skim through these CV's and get the important info at a glance.
Artist Resume Examples:
Jamie Isenstein
Molly Smith
Artist Statement
Examples:
Fabienne Lasserre
Things to think about:
Biographical info (a little, if it's relevant to the themes in your work)
Big ideas you address with your work
Artists/ movements who have influenced you
How the work is made
Description of an important piece and how it fits into your process
Your career/education up to now
Biggest accomplishment as an artist
Something that sets you apart from other artists
