The Exit Report

Synopsis

Brad Troemel, an American artist, argues against pursuing traditional paths in the art world in The Exit Report. He advises against enrolling in MFA programs, relocating to New York, or engaging with curators tied to wealthy backgrounds. The 32-minute documentary critiques the art world's economic failures and questions the necessity of galleries, art schools, and intermediaries like collectors. Troemel considers what art could become if it were entirely independent from established institutions and commercial pressures.
