This month, we have Tal Beery and Maxwell Paparella talking about their contributions to our Summer 2020 issue: Living & Working. They discuss a range of topics including art worker unionization efforts, the need for speculative institutional models, and the funding landscape from within the first year of the Covid-19 pandemic.
This conversation originally took place on Instagram Live as a ‘Contributor Conversation’, a series where we invite writers from the most recent issue to discuss their texts.
Tal Beery works in art, education, and nonprofit leadership at the nexus of culture and ecology. His projects – both independently and as a member of the artist collective Occupy Museums – have been exhibited in major venues across the US and Europe, including the 2017 Whitney Biennial, Brooklyn Museum, CCA Warsaw, and the 2012 Berlin Biennale, earning mentions in The New York Times, The New Yorker, The Guardian, and Art in America, among others. Tal is the co-founder and Managing Director of Arts & Ecology Incorporated, a nonprofit that supports efforts by artists and organizations to create work that explores the connections between nature and culture.
Maxwell Paparella lives in New York City. His fiction and criticism have appeared in BOMB, The Brooklyn Rail, Screen Slate, and elsewhere.
