In this talk:

🚩 Jason Andrew —— Jason Andrew is a Founding Partner at Artist Estate Studio—a consultancy agency that recognizes the importance of promotion and preservation in an ever-changing art world dominated by taste and tastemakers. He is a leader in the field of editing and implementation of catalogue raisonnés. Guarding against special interests in any particular style or genre, his curatorial projects bridge gaps left in art history and reflect the creative imagination through painting, poetry, and performance. As an independent scholar and curator his projects include recent historic retrospectives of the work of Janice Biala, Jack Tworkov, Elizabeth Murray, and Edith Schloss among others.

🚩 Robert Cozzolino —— Robert Cozzolino is an independent curator, art historian, and critic based in Minneapolis. He curates collaboratively, in partnership with artists, colleagues, and broad communities. Although he has worked on topics from the 19th and 20th centuries, he regularly works with contemporary artists in examining history. He considers himself a curator of fluid time, not bound to the labels and bins imposed on the field. He has curated over 40 exhibitions, including Supernatural America: The Paranormal in American Art, World War I and American Art, Peter Blume: Nature and Metamorphosis, David Lynch: The Unified Field, and many others.

🚩 Jessica Farrell —— Jessica Farrell is a painter who grew up in the Midwest. She spent her early adulthood living in New York City and working in commercial photography. In 1989, Farrell moved to a small hamlet in the Catskill Mountains. For twenty years, she partnered with her husband, creating hundreds of pieces of obsessive art furniture from natural materials. Her recent paintings explore the people and places in her community. In addition to her art practice, Farrell manages the David Byrd Catalogue Raisonné. Knowing Byrd inspired her to create paintings about her family, mental illness, and peer recovery advocates in her community.
