We talk everything ART with Detroit Wasserman Projects director Alison Wong in this session. The Chicago + Detroit cross-pollination is strong in this episode with Wasserman Projects director Alison Wong. One core mission of Wasserman Projects is to help facilitate projects for artists that might otherwise not be possible. Alison discusses with us the operations of the gallery and also how when you are purchasing art, you are investing not only in the artist, but the concept behind the work produced. This conversation was held amongst the artworks titled “Hypnagogia” from Chicago based artist Adrian Wong. Enjoy the art talk!
