For the big 20, I am getting on my soapbox a bit to discuss the American with Disabilities Act and how these laws and regulations should be guidelines for opportunities and not a burden for your priorities. I will go over four important number/equations for your egress planning and how to incorporate them into your exhibition design.  As the temporarily-abled, we should see it as our duty to include those people that feel limited in so many aspects of their life.

In this interview with David Corfield, founder of LifeWork, we discuss the changes in life and work for the millions of freelancers in today's market.  With art pros becoming more and more part of the freelance economy it is important for us to understand ways to protect ourselves and build a relationship with our clients.  We get into all sorts of topics from contracts to the new California laws surrounding freelancers.

My goal in putting together this episode is to help explain some of the nuances of finish, brand, and tools.  I cover many of the choices you will need to be confident in changing up your space, and I hope it opens up new possibilities for everyone.

Check out my first phone interview with Ian Mullen from Ship/Art. We discuss many of the finer points of what makes art handling such an amazing profession to be involved in. From rigging to training, Ian has worked with many types of projects in many types of places.
