What are your thoughts on censorship in light of the recent events with David Wojnarowicz at the Smithsonian and Blu at MOCA LA? Censorship is something Seth and I have had to deal with in the past as curators and it’s no fun. At the same time, there are always different sides to the conversation and I’d be curious to hear people’s perspectives.
