Live from Mrs. G’s House: Episode 1-Maggie Cavallo

I’ve always wanted to have a talk show.

The Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum has a Living Room and because they are and have been so wonderful to me and many other artists, they have allowed me to come to Mrs. G’s house, and sit in the Living Room and have talks with artists and whomever else. This is my first one and I could not have chosen a better guest.

Maggie (not Margaret) is an artist, educator, curator, and the mind behind, within and through out Alter Projects.  Because of her varied ways of participating in the art world I thought it would be great to talk to her about publics, practices, Boston, and engagement.

I loved talking to her.  She’s brilliant.  I hope you enjoy the show.
