Back in April, I received a wonderful invitation to interview Kimberly Drew, the social media force of nature who helms the account for the Museum of Modern Art (MOMA). This highly intelligent, deeply insightful Drew and I engaged in a live discussion during the Chicago Humanities Festival, touching on topics from the impact of social media on art appreciation to the longevity of the faux lives quite a few folks engage in online.
After some months, the video is finally live! Want to see it? Here it goes. A foreword: She is sincerely one of the best interviewees ever and you'll definitely want to hear some of the emerging artists she is checking for in her highly influential role.
Objects of affection could be the tagline for this insightful event. Multi-platform media executive Kyra Kyles moderated a discussion that takes a look at our rapidly changing relationship to the material objects that surround us-what we value, what we collect and hand down, and what we discard.
