My curator informed me 20 days before the exhibition that he has decided to postpone it with no clear timelines for the future. What should I do
I'm a visual artist and this was to be my first exhibition. When I read his text, initially he said the venue cancelled last minute, when I asked him to send me the cancellation mail he sent me mails where they've confirmed the slot twice. So I said this doesn't mention cancellation at all- to that he replied that they spoke and decided and offline BECAUSE he goes to the venue often.
This decision happened around 5th May, he informed me on 18th May, when I asked him why wasn't I informed earlier, he got defensive and said I don't trust him and cut the call.
I had to be the voice of reason so I calmed him down and then he sent a long text where he mentioned how all the artists aren't available so he had to postpone. Now idk which story is true, was it the venue, was it the artists, was it a secret third reason.
I asked him to communicate with me better, I asked to be added to the email thread with the venue, he said no. I asked if all the participating artists can be added to a group together so I'm not left out on important details and decisions like this he said no because he doesn't understand what we would have to talk about and that it's unnecessary.
The venue is beautiful, one of the best, and that's why I want to stick around but honestly, I don't have any respect for him. He has been unprofessional on many occasions.
He forgot to ask me in advance to send my artist bio and statement, he called very late and said I need to send it in the next 30 mins. I was in the middle of a shoot. And another time, in the middle of a conversation he said he is a bit drunk and I felt very weirded out by that and stopped texting him.
He is also weird online, you can tell he has bought followers and bots/fake accounts comment on his posts and it's a bit uncanny.
Idk what to do, I mean I don't want to miss out on this great venue and the chance to exhibit my work, but ohgod I hate him so much I respect nothing about him and I don't want to be represented by a guy like this.
Should I leave or stay? And what if I regret it.
