Epilogue
“I stand by what I said about the exemplary way the Education and Curatorial areas of The New Museum relate to one another, but there are many less positive things to say about that institution, specifically in relation to labor practices. I encourage everyone to read Dana Kopel’s account of organizing to unionize the New Museum employees in 2019.” Gordon Hall, 21 January 2022
