I like the way this piece highlights the network effects involved in the art industry. The primacy of “politics and intrigue” over aesthetics or craft, is so sad to me. It’s good to see some of that truth make it’s way to the surface, if only unintentionally.

I had the same take.

Honestly, I don't know how people work in environments like that. Forgetting to give honorable mention to some person or cause shouldn't become a conscience issue boiling over into a penitent confession about all the people and causes forgotten over the years. Sadly, I fear that the "silence is violence" claim is influencing more and more of our society. It's like we're intentionally creating new mental health situations.
