Episode 78 of ‘All About Art’: Redefining Artist Management with Valeria Szabó Facchin, Founder of Studio Expanded

In this episode, I sat down with Valeria Szabó Facchin, Founder of Studio Expanded, a new artist management agency redefining the art ecosystem.

I speak to Valeria about her previous professional experiences, notably as Founding Director of the Nicoletta Fiorucci Foundation and how this impacts how she approaches business now. We delve into what it means to be an artist manager - from choosing the artists she works with, to liaising with partners and developing sustainable strategies for the creatives on her roster. We speak about the importance of understanding everything about an artist's career and practice when working with them, to thinking about potential collaborations and opportunities for them, and so much more.

Thank you Valeria for coming on the podcast!
