The emphasis on business is poisonous. Everybody needs to survive, but one hopes there would be some other levels of operating that are not just 100 percent determined by economic success.
I have this idea of running a night school for collectors: re-education classes on curiosity replacing speculation. I could teach that for minimal compensation because, you know, “everybody needs to survive.” Magda Sawon, owner and director, Postmasters Gallery

Perhaps museums and galleries could be opened for special school visits. This might be extended to elderly people. There is a strong sense of being isolated and forgotten in the air.

Ever feel existential while looking at a bus? Courtesy of Sound Transit
If you ve done a double-take over what appears to be a work of art on the side of a King County Metro bus recently, you didn t imagine it. Last week, the Henry Art Gallery in the University District launched their latest show,
Set in Motion. This city-wide public art exhibition puts local and national artists work on the side of various Seattle buses across the city. Sponsored
Shamim M. Momin, director of curatorial affairs at the Henry, told me over the phone that the show was their way of bringing our exhibition site out into the world. The project comes after the Henry wisely opted not to reopen their building this year due to the pandemic.
