Source for ArtGallery Submission Rules?

2001-11-23 by Mark Tucker

I am placing five prints in a small show at our leading gallery 
here in town. This is my first go-round with actually dealing with 
galleries: submissions, resumes, artist statement, etc.

Does anyone know of a source for some kind of "rules for gallery 
submissions"? Or "how to be an art photographer"?

Since I come into this from a commercial photography 
background, I'm out of my area. I'm not even sure that I "have" a 
resume? And my guard is up for this whole Artist Statement thing 
-- my term for this kind of "art talk" is "ArtForumHorseS&%t". 

"Tell me, Mark, what was your motivation to do this piece... blah, 
blah, blah". I am so against all of this hype talk that I don't know 
what I'd say. I'd almost make up something false just to make 
fun of the whole game, but I know that would come back to get 
me in the end.

(Thoughts of Julian, and the brick, and the carpet. Oh God).

Seriously, any sources of info would be appreciated.
