@aservais1 Hi - thank you for this! Makes you wonder why more art journalists didn't pick up my story on how Black artists feel wedged between incredible generosity and clueless insensitivity in rarefied places like Aspen....when they were all OVER the damaged Kusama pumpkin, right!? ;)

@TanyaAuthor @TheCut thank you so much for sharing this - esp this week....not the turn I expected this assignment to take but very grateful to the artists and other cultural leaders who shared their impressions with me.

[Laura van Straaten @LauravS]

@TheCut This was not the direction I expected this assignment to take but couldn't unhear what the Black artists I interviewed shared, w adjectives like: “weird,” “jarring,” “intense,” “embarrassing,” “sad,” all the way to “gross,” “extreme,” and “unbearable....

@KTrujil94782722 @jerrysaltz (thank you) and please say more?

@TheOpEdProject Thank you so much for sharing this! This was not the turn I expected this story to take...but I couldn't unhear what these Black artists told me nor what I witnessed myself. I hope others with stories to tell will enter into the conversation too.
