I almost feel like if I didn’t have the gallery and museum content it would be easy to get lost. People’s attention spans are so short; they see something and it trends for a few days and then it goes away and something else comes.

Would Be

I cast people from right around me. I was at my alma mater. It’s special to have most of the graduate students in it [and] one professor, because I feel like in terms of this school, I was one of the few students lucky enough to break into the art industry or the contemporary art world.

Space
