Considering we have been working on the March 1st walkout, and the March 5 occupation of the capitol at the same time, this was quite an undertaking. We made out a call for submissions, and have...

I can’t say that I was entirely hopeful about this part of the movement from the beginning, as far as the arts working group and Occupy Museums were concerned, but this along with the work around the Sotheby’s art handler’s lockout has me applauding them.

The Resume
I’m scared to the bone, freezing underneath these bright blue wool socks as I edit my resume. I’m cringing at the mere thought of someone of remote importance reading it.
