Kurt McVey takes us on an insightful journey through the search for fresh art amidst staid institutions. He also asks Leah some wonderfully poignant questions about pregnancy and the transition into motherhood as an artist. Look for some of the artists he mentions in our conversation – Junyu Liu, Alex and Allison Grey, and Jennifer Elster – as well as events he’s involved with coming up at Ma’s House on the Shinnecock Reservation & Little Beach Harvest in July.
