Glomming on.
I like Karen T but I am not a huge fan, either, of those interventions in
my neighborhood. Micah Stansell couldn't possibly need more exposure? +1
for Helen Hale, adding: Dance Truckers, Christina Price Washington, Robin
Bernat perhaps, Jonathan Bouknight has expressed interest in showing at
Eyedrum. Lang Harm-ers? Zac and James have been about lately at Typos.
Pastiche Lumumba (of the low museum e.g.). Book arts people? Library
interventions?
