@reddragonfly/@denmarkguy thanks for such a thorough reply! I'm really curious about you and your wife's gallery effort. I'm an artist myself and have helped set up a few residency programs in galleries. I've always been very dissatisfied with the status quo of the commercial art system and would love to strike up an ongoing conversation.

I remember when Facebook first came our, many more people used the "notes" function as a pseudo-blog. Since then it's become progressively more like Twitter and actively encourages succinct updates as being inherently more noteworthy. We've gotten more and more away from substance and more towards instant gratification.

Thanks for the read!
