Jerry Gogosian's AM Art Radio Ep. 9 Sarah Hoover Returns
April 18th, 2020
We’re deep into the quarantine and I’m going to be honest with you guys; I have NOT felt like doing the podcast, like at all. It was super fun and was in the beginning but like many of you, this isolation is making me depressed, anxious, and lonely. So I was grateful when Sarah Hoover took the time to speak to me this week and pushed me out of my weird isolated mind to discuss our beginnings in art, how we came to love art, our relationship to New York, female AND male feminists, and how we the art world can improve itself.
This episode gets real for me as our conversation pushed me to confront some of the unhealthy ideas surrounding art and capitalism which I’ve developed working in the art world. By the end of the conversation, Sarah had me reconsidering why I do this, how important art is, and how we can readjust our ideas as we rebuild post-pandemic. I guess this is the silver lining of all this: SELF REFLECTION and RECONSIDERING WHY WE DO ANYTHING OF THIS. I hope you enjoy the conversation. This one is an hour and half. Settle in and enjoy.
