Good news! I have figured out my recording situation and the podcast quality just went up 500%. AM art radio is improving. Thanks for your patience. Link to episode is in the bio.

It was truly a pleasure to have my friend Sarah Hoover on the podcast. I actually “met” Sarah on the internet when I started Jerry Gogosian, but I’d known her husband, Tom Sachs from 2016 when he was in San Francisco for Space Program Europa at the Yerba Buena Center for the arts. I remember seeing Sarah at the opening back then and being thoroughly impressed by her commitment to a pair of outrageous looking  Chanel stilettos. Little did I know a few years later she’d become one of my biggest cheerleaders and someone I look up to for her advocacy work throughout the art world and beyond. She’s super outspoken and uses her place of privilege to push against issues like sexism & misogyny in the workplace, home politics, and has just written a book about her struggles with postpartum depression, It’s reassuring to know there’s a “good side” to the art world in all of this messy COVID-19 darkness. I truly believe that women such as Sarah will be pivotal in how the art world is reformed moving forward and I’m sure glad she’s got such a strong clear message. I hope you enjoy our conversation.
