# Personalized Studio Tours The Selby's Curtis Kulig Post Offers a Close Look at the Artist By Jordy E | Published 2012-09-07 | Pop Culture Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/curtis-kulig References: [theselby](http://theselby.com/galleries/curtis-kulig-2/) & [curtiskulig](http://www.curtiskulig.com/) Todd Selby's tour of Curtis Kulig's New York home allows his adoring fans to connect with the icon on a personal level. [Snapshots of bicycles, book shelves](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-pillsbury-doughboy) and cans of paint are interspersed with candid looks at Kulig, sprawled out nonchalantly in his abode on wooden benches and comfy sofas. While many may be accustomed to seeing Kulig's signature on [installations and photographs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paul-anthony-smith), his face is lesser known. The Selby aims to connect fans with their idols and to do away with the mystery, showing a more human side to the likes of Aaron Young and Colin Tunstall. His review of Kulig offers up these very qualities as it captures him in his essence throughout [his studio](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alan-prekop-studio). ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.8/10 - Popularity: 13% | Activity: 4% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) > [Internet](https://www.trendhunter.com/internet) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Personalized Artist Tours:** Connect with artists on a personal level through customized tours of their home or studio. - **Transparent Showcase:** Invite fans into a more personal and intimate experience with their favorite artists. - **Candid Representation:** Offer a humanizing and relatable representation of popular figures in the art world. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Art:** Revamp the traditional gallery experience by offering personalized tours of artists homes and studios. - **Tourism:** Entice travelers with exclusive and personalized tours of artists' homes. - **Marketing/advertising:** Use candid, personal digital content from artist tours as a unique brand marketing tool. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Vibrant Pop-Up Galleries](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/elizabeth-sutton.md) - [Collectible Design Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/side-hustle-gallery.md) - [Perception-Challenging Art Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/becoming-familiar.md) - [Interactive Colorful Art Exhibits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/david-hockney-bigger-closer.md) - [Abstract Toronto Home Shows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/elte-fine-art.md) - [Art-Filled Parisian Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/amlie-du-chalard.md) - [Serene Ambiance Tribeca Galleries](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/studiotwentyseven.md) - [Psychedelic Sculptural Art Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/frank-stella-recent-sculpture.md) - [Self-Designed Exhibition Spaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kiki-joost.md)
