Phillip Rivlin

Mr. Rivlin came in to join a crew of craftsmen builders painters in the early nineties, a crew which I eventually joined and would work with through out the decade. My audio is low in this but the convo is still a good one.

James Cullinane

James Cullinane is an artist with a B.F.A. from Cooper Union . Everyone I worked with at 1071 fifth ave was an artist of some kind most of us trying to pay the bills and make our own work in the big city. A lot of friends were made as we labored to install the latest show at the Gugg. I thought of them as coworkers at the time. Looking back now I consider most of them friends. James was part of a core group that was my introduction to the Guggenheim and I would work with him in some way whenever I was back up town, all though out the 90s. It really doesn’t seem like that long ago. I remember James sharing the word of the day. He once had shirts printed with the phrase “possible blame opportunity “ on the back. If you’ve worked in certain types of environments then you understand. I promised to buy one but never did. Sorry about that. To really survive as a freelance art handler you have to juggle several jobs. James has done just that. He’s still doing that, or up until the quarantine he was.Mr Cullinane was kind enough to give me a call. This is me and James catching up after over 20 years.

Sarah Titheridge

What’s happening with my counterparts and former coworkers? My latest inquiry has lead me to a counterpart across the sea. What do you know. They have museums over there too. My next guest is a fascinating woman with a great story that I am eager to share with you. Sarah Titheridge changed course from a likely career in either art history or art conservation to the hands on job of Art Handler or Art Tech as they say across the water. In addition to that she has also set up a few resource websites for those working in the field, starting with Art Tech Space, known for connecting employers with art techs and hosting forums for users to connect and talk about the biz. I’m so happy she was able to talk to me and fill me in on all the details.

Keith Losh

I met Keith Losh through my first museum job. He came in on occasion to help out at the Ringling Museum, while I was there. Recently I learned that the position I was fortunate enough to fill is the one that he had left after five years. Keith was, a guide, a supporter and a fellow artist on the scene during my years in Sarasota, I never thought about it much at the time. I was too self centered. I know him from his artist/art handler days. Though he made an interesting 25 year career change into drafting in the mid 90s, he’s back at it, installing at some of the new venues that have popped up over the 30 years I was gone. He also brought me up to speed on a few changes in the Sarasota, Museum and gallery world. Keith holds an A.A. degree in Fine Arts from Polk Community College in Winter Haven, and a B.A. in Sculpture and Drawing from New College of Florida in Sarasota. What a great way to get back in touch with Keith.please support Limited Perspective on Patreon. https://www.patreon.com/limitedperspective

Scott Wixon

Scott Wixon is an artist with a BFA from he Massachusetts College of Art and Design and a MFA from Yale University.By the time we met, Scott had worked his way up from art handler to Operations Manager at a well known art museum, housed in one of the most Iconic buildings in New York City, the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum. He was the person that met me at the employee entrance and lead me down behind the sense to a work area, affectionately known to as The Grotto. this was an assortment of hallways connecting few workrooms, a freight elevator and a small office. Scott worked in that little office and I guess he was my bosses boss whenever I was there on a two or three week freelance gigg. I don’t know. I wasn’t really paying that much attention. Several years ago we connected on social media and I was able to folow his artwork and career a bit. After this conversation, I know Scott even better than before. Listen up.http://scottwixon.com/
