Description
This episode, in our ongoing series tracking the impact of COVID-19 on the art community, I talk to the Hyperallergic news team (Jasmine Weber, Valentina Di Liscia, and Hakim Bishara) about the latest Pandemic-related news, including why museums can't dip into their endowments as easily as we might like, the Guggenheim's decision to furlough 92 employees, why some union supporters are crying foul with the recent art world layoffs. We also discuss the impact of the cancellation of Indian Market in Santa Fe, an artist fundraiser for Elmhurst Hospital in Queens, how artists are helping to decorate hospitals, and even some memes.A special thanks to Nathan Fox for letting us use his track “I Can’t Hang.” To learn more, check out his Facebook page.And a thank you to Gina Volpe for allowing us to use a short clip of her catchy song "Don't Touch Your Face," and for answering my questions about her inspiration.Subscribe to Hyperallergic’s Podcast on iTunes, and anywhere else you listen to podcasts.

Is the Art World Ready for the Sanctuary Movement?: This week we talk to Abou Farman, artist and anthropologist at the New School, and Raquel de Anda, director of public engagement at No Longer Empty, about their recent efforts to educate New York City cultural leaders about the needs of immigrant communities. And then we interview Emma Sulkowicz, who many people suggest helped kick off the #MeToo movement with their widely publicized "Mattress Performance (Carry That Weight)" (2014–2015) performance. by Hyperallergic
