What platforms do you use to keep informed?<\/strong><br \/>\nThe best way is through your network. Of course, you have to move around as much as possible, visit all the exhibitions, listen to podcasts, subscribe to newsletters or magazines, read essays and criticism, etc. There\u2019s not much difference between hobby and work.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What skills or qualities do you consider essential for your success in the cultural sector?<\/strong><br \/>\nFirst questioning what success is or isn\u2019t. I suppose the keys are passion and tenacity (a bit clich\u00e9, right?).<\/p>\n<p><strong>What advice would you give to someone starting their career in the cultural world?<\/strong><br \/>\nIf you\u2019re sure it\u2019s something that fulfils you, double your efforts because it\u2019s worth it. You see the world through different eyes, and there are still glimpses of freedom or ways to do things differently. If you\u2019re not so sure, study law or finance and buy art. You still have time, and you\u2019ll go to the parties anyway.<\/div>\n<p><!-- .vgblk-rw-wrapper --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Juan Crespo, Responsable de Registro, en Thaddaeus Ropac, comparte su inspiradora trayectoria y su pasi\u00f3n por el arte contempor\u00e1neo.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":991613,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[75],"tags":[204,202,203],"class_list":["post-991616","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-blog-en","tag-galleries","tag-in-first-person","tag-interview"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.1 (Yoast SEO v28.0) -
