Had another frustrating (yet, fundamentally unsurprising) incident since I sent that email in which a museum director matter-of-factly told me that all of the greatest artists in history were men and after I strenuously argued against that, we continued discussing the work we were cooperating on… well let’s just say that in the end, a few days later, the museum decided that they didn’t have the budget after all to acquire the piece of mine that they’d been interested in. I wonder what changed?? ;)
