Why Occupy Museums is a movement worth supporting →
Davis really nails it in this one. He makes those perfect connections between art, and economics, pointing out the fact that a MOMA board of trustees member is the wife of Dick Fuld who was CEO of Lehman Brothers, and is partially responsible for the economic downturn. Davis also notes the importance of activist work done by the Art Workers Coalition (AWC) in the 60’s and 70’s, work...

Occupy Musuems in its Second Week →

To my Bay Area followers,
Attend if you can! I’ll unfortunately be working, so I can’t attend myself, but you should go out and support, if you can. Also, not that they are serving ice cream.
