Marginalia With Lacey Haslam | Episode 19

An Airstream Argosy pulls up and parks. Joe and Matthew get in. The driver is Lacey Haslam, the Archive of Creative Culture’s Lead Organizer.

Conversation ensues, centering on the creative minds that help populate the Archive. Airstream restoration, travel, and mobility are explored. David Salle is read aloud, and advice for art school graduates is offered at no charge.

Multiple book recommendations are made. Dwell is revealed as a vice. A growler is emptied.
