\u201cYou cannot wait for an untroubled world to have an untroubled moment.\u201d<\/p>\n
-Lemony Snicket,\u00a0Shouldn\u2019t You Be in School?<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n When it seems like everything around you is turning upside down, perhaps it\u2019s time to close your eyes for a moment. There\u2019s no shame in stepping out of the raging current and giving yourself time to unwind the tension wires that have become tight and tangled. Even if your moment of peace is merely that, a moment, relish and revel in it. Do not let guilt in. It has no place here. You cannot spend every moment of every day in anxiety and fear.<\/p>\n Will Stovall<\/a> joined us to discuss his show Kant Crisis<\/em><\/a>, which was on view until July 12 at Ulrik Gallery in NYC. The show includes various works from the last two years, but the title derives from one in particular that draws inspiration from a drawing of an arch by German writer Heinrich von Kleist. To learn more about this and other aspects of the show and Stovall\u2019s work, listen to the complete interview<\/a>.<\/p>\n Paco Barrag\u00e1n<\/a> joined us from Spain in 2022. We spoke about his book and his current curatorial work. He also discussed his philosophy as a curator, explaining that the curator now acts as narrator, whereas before, the \u201ctotal curator\u201d served as narrator, mythologist, and exhibition designer. To learn more about this and why Barrag\u00e1n believes the so-called \u201cwhite cube\u201d is dead, listen to the complete interview<\/a>.<\/p>\n A few words to keep in your pocket<\/strong><\/p>\n Breathe.
