Joe and Matthew lead a group of arts patrons on a Brain Fuzz excursion in support of arts non-profit Burnaway. Sitting down for a discussion at the Zuckerman Museum of Art with curator Sarah Higgins, they discuss career trajectories for curators, how shows come together, titles, wall text, and more.

Sarah recounts an impressive number of academic, professional, and residential waypoints. William Burroughs gets a reference. Jim Henson gets quoted. Joe shares the audio pick of the day.

And, in a Brain Fuzz first, a live audience shares questions.
