Author, archivist and curator David Leopold<\/a> checks in from Bucks County, PA. We talk about curating art in a quarantine and organizing the Socially Distant Theater<\/a> virtual exhibition of Al Hirschfeld’s drawings of solo shows, how museum audiences are changing over the years and his concerns that we’ll continue to drive away from in-person experience, missing JazzFest in New Orleans, making a social-distancing garden, bingeing on The Leftovers<\/em> and Saki’s short stories, researching minstrel shows for an exhibition an exhibition on race & identity in George Herriman’s work, and contextualizing them as commedia dell’arte (while being sensitive about the potential for offense inherent in the subject matter), working on a Frontera music virtual exhibition for Arhoolie, going 6 weeks without leaving the farm he lives on, and more. Give it a listen!<\/a> And go check out Socially Distant Theater<\/a>!<\/p>\n
