Beginning next month, I will be an MA candidate in Bard College's new
program in curatorial studies and contemporary art. I must therefore
post the following and ask that you circulate it responsibly--I also
have a great apartment in Boston I need to rent: please email me at
[log in to unmask] if you want more information about the apartment.
Thanks, and see you all back on museum-l in a few weeks--email to
this address will be held and forwarded to a new, as yet unknown,
Bard-based address.
