2 Curriculum Vitae – CV – Ansioluettelo
Curriculum vitae is a Latin expression loosely translated as "course of (one´s) life". Suomeksi Curriculum vitae tarkoittaa "elämän suuntaa" tai "elämän kulkua". Curriculum vitae is abbreviated CV, and is pluralized as curricula vitae. Curricula and curriculums are both considered correct. CV is also sometimes informally called a “vita” (in the US). CV is a document that describes your education, work experience, etc. It is an account of one's career (and qualifications) prepared typically by an applicant for a position <Applicants for the fellowship are asked to submit a curriculum vitae.> (Merriam Webster Dictionary)

3 How to write an effective CV? Crucial questions:
1. Where and why is it needed? (use) 2. Who will read it in what situation? (context) 3. What is its purpose? (object) … which will lead to deciding: how to compile it – what to focus on, what to leave out the order of content – what to mention first the optimal length the overall style of text and visual design

7 What a visual artist’s CV should include
Ilmoita vain kuvataiteilijan ammattiin ja alaan liittyvä koulutus. Ilmoita vain gallerioissa ym. kuvataiteen näyttelypaikoissa pidetyt yksityisnäyttelyt (ei kahviloissa tms. pidettyjä). Myyntinäyttelyitä (teosvälitykset jne.) ei ilmoiteta ansioluettelossa, koska ne eivät ole varsinaisia näyttelyitä. Ilmoita vain tärkeimmät näyttelyt, jos sinulla on paljon näyttelyitä. Voit otsikoida karsitun näyttelylistan esim. seuraavasti: Yksityisnäyttelyt (valikoidut). Luetteloi näyttelyt uusimmasta vanhimpaan: uusin aina ylinnä. (Lähde: Tampereen taiteilijaseura)

8 Usual questions: What about personal information?
Often, more established artists will keep it simple. This is because their CV is usually referenced as a biography rather than a resume. Damian Hirst (b. 1965, UK) However, you can include contact information if you are sending out your CV to galleries in the hopes that they will reply: | | Either of these formats is appropriate for an artist’s CV. Just keep in mind that you should only include your website if it directly relates to your artistic practice. What about private personal information?

9 Minimalist or cornucopia?
One mistake emerging artists often make in writing their CVs is trying to oversell their work. Less is more. Your CV should be neatly organized, and only include information pertinent to your artistic career. What to do to “gaps in the CV”? The whole truth, and nothing but the truth? Should I use LinkedIn?
