Wow Frank, didn’t realise it was archive footage. Nice one, glad I spotted it now!
Thank you Sam. I wouldn’t have looked for it. I remember the interview. We had our gallery for a brief stint and it sure was fun curating and having events. Unfortunately the neighborhood was heading toward becoming totally orthodox and did not warrant a trendy gallery… although local artists and homeowners dug it. No one bought art and we were tired of flushing money down the toilet. I was starting a new job at a local elementary school and it would have been a real task to run it since it was halfway across Brooklyn. Still have a descent archive of photos to sell. My online sales always did better anyways.
