Art Collector Cheating, Post-Blackness, and Being Dumb Like a Painter
Photos and Audio from BmoreArt Talks with Rashid Johnson and Mera & Don Rubell

Thanks for coming out to the Lord Baltimore Hotel. The talk featured NY-based artist Rashid Johnson and Collectors Mera and Don Rubell, with Cara Ober.

If you missed the event on May 27, never fear: You can listen to a complete podcast of the artist talk here in this post, or at the BmoreArt Soundcloud page. Learn all about being “dumb like a painter,” about how art collector couples “cheat” on each other, and what Post-Blackness actually means. Or doesn’t mean.

All photos from the event are from Justin Tsucalas from Plaid Photo.
