“Each new apartment I have, there’s this hope that it’s the last one. Not like the final resting place, but the permanent home.”
Artist & writer Dmitry Samarov checks in from Chicago to talk about self-isolating in a packed-up apartment (he’s supposed to move in a month). We talk about his paintings, the lack of social distancing in a neighborhood he visited, his current reading (Tropic of Cancer and Ben Katchor’s The Dairy Restaurant), and more. Give it a listen! And go check out Dmitry’s latest book, Soviet Stamps, and sign up for his weekly e-mail!
Listen to the conversation! Then check out the archives for more conversations from The Before Times.
You can listen to all these COVID Check-In episodes at The COVID-19 Sessions.
