He definitely represents what my friend and I call the “Rick Moranis downtown guy”, an under-explorer type of dude in the art scene. No outrageous outfits or outward subcultural trappings but always at knitting factory or bang on the can functions or perusing the racks of Zorn at Downtown Music Gallery or having a cup of box wine at an opening.
These guys used to be everywhere and I miss them and much prefer them to the constantly performative asshats of the present day. It’s okay just to be a guy in a button up shirt who likes art.
Feel the Moranis vibes…
