In this episode, my good friend Bill Gentry and I meet up to scope out the "The Long Run" exhibition at MOMA (as well as the permanent collection), and I show him one of my favorite restaurants, Cafe Gitane. Here is my first time seeing him on US soil, as the previous three times (once a year) were in Cambodia! 

Bill is the founder of Colors of Cambodia, an art school operating in Siem Reap (going on 14 years) and they offer free art education to all Khmer children.  I've had the amazing opportunity to live in Cambodia for a short while and volunteered at COC in 2016 and 2017 for several months working in the local schools and gallery.

Julia Haw (b. 1982, Flint, MI) attended Western Michigan University with a concentration in painting and is recognized for creating bold memory-staining works. She addresses personal and immediate social issues, and most presently, global and political issues, and examines such topics as feminism, ageism, memory deterioration, intimacy, death and confrontational experience. She uses oil paint on cotton or linen as her mainstay medium, in order to achieve empathetic coverage of these socially and emotionally shared issues, and has been able to achieve considerable viewer pause through her dedicated work habit, vibrant color choices, straightforward subject matter, and by using people and objects within her community as models. Haw’s paintings tend to function as highly relatable, ensuing discussion amongst viewers, and bringing the public forum necessarily back.

The artist lives and works in Brooklyn, New York.
