Intro

0:04

i don’t have an answer for that one

0:15

oh that’s a very tough question

0:17

um

0:19

in my position i’m

0:21

i i have a lot of freedom in what i

0:24

curate so

0:27

every show i

0:28

do is my dream curation

What is your dream curation

0:35

i’d say that a person has to have

0:39

certain

0:41

character traits

0:46

i believe a person has to be creative

0:50

and they have to

0:51

[Music]

0:53

be brave enough to take risks

1:00

and then from those character traits

1:04

they definitely

1:06

should have

1:11

uh some form of post-secondary education

1:14

whether that’s in

1:16

arts or fine arts or basically any

1:20

category

1:22

um

1:24

which

1:25

gives them you know a good background

1:27

knowledge to begin to approach things

1:31

and from there move into working in a

1:34

gallery

1:36

and gaining experience that way

What is your collection

1:41

i’m a great collector

1:44

i collect lots of things and i’ve always

1:47

collected

1:48

things

1:52

my grandmother’s house was full of

1:55

objects rocks stones shells

1:59

pictures whatever

2:01

and i think i inherited her her jeans

2:06

so

2:07

i collect

2:09

art objects

2:11

antiques

2:14

stones and shells and rocks

2:17

yeah i collect a lot of things

If you could live at any time

2:25

if i could live at any time i would

2:28

choose 2021

2:33

every time

2:36

has its

2:38

issues problems concerns

2:42

and um

2:45

and a lot of what a person experiences

2:48

has to do with

2:50

where they are born in a society

2:55

whether they’re a prince or a pauper

2:59

and so

3:01

at this time i have

3:05

i’ve been

3:07

blessed

3:08

to to be able to do certain things that

3:10

probably at another time i wouldn’t

3:13

so

3:15

the time of my life is just fine

Favorite artist

3:21

my favorite artist

3:23

has changed over time

3:27

when i was

3:29

young

3:31

my favorite artists were michelangelo

3:33

and vincent van gogh

3:36

um

3:37

and while i still greatly greatly

3:40

admired their work

3:41

i’d say at the moment my favorite artist

3:45

is hieronymus bosch

3:49

but my tastes are very eclectic so

3:53

that’s a hard one to

3:55

answer

Favorite object

4:01

the object i’ve used to explain humanity

4:04

to aliens is the automobile

4:08

and uh i say that because the automobile

4:17

encapsulates

4:20

history with the wheel

4:23

which allowed

4:26

humanity to explore to expand

4:31

uh to go places that they never

4:33

were able to before

4:36

it also

4:41

has

4:43

uh

4:46

design qualities which show

4:50

which make reference to art

4:53

and to

4:55

the

4:56

concerns of a society

4:59

and it also speaks to

5:03

humanity’s social positions

5:06

and

5:08

power structures

5:10

the more wealthy you are

5:13

the bigger your automobile

5:15

uh the fancier the design

5:18

[Music]

5:19

that kind of thing

5:21

whereas if you’re like myself you drive

5:22

an economy car
