Recent Radio Interview

Last summer I gave an interview to University of Washington's NPR station, KUOW. The show was called "The Conversation" and the host was Ross Reynolds. That day's program was about rejection so they interviewed me about the exhibition I curated at the San Jose Institute of Contemporary Art. Titled, It's Not Us, It's You, the show ran from April 3 to June 20, 2009.

It’s Not Us, It’s You was an exhibition that explored the inevitability of rejection in our lives.  Through a tragic and sometimes heartbreaking lens, the artists in the exhibition responded to the reality of rejection with subversion, self-reflection, humor and brutal honesty.
