I just had one of the top, wealthiest PR firms in the art world ask me to create a screenshot for them from the last issue of 13ThingsLA so they can show their client, because “it’s behind a pay wall.” Friends, the paywall is $5/mo ($1.25/wk). Gee why isn’t there more good art writing out there? Me:

I had the pleasure of writing the catalog essay to Flora Kao’s #COLA2025 project: “Kao’s inventive, soulful work begins in the past. That’s because history, like memory, is societal, generational, ever-present, familial, malleable, and somatic…” Full essay on Substack: substack.com/@shananys/no...
