Collectors: Angels or Devils?
Hosted by Alanna Heiss
Originally aired 1/19/11

A 2010 roundtable discussion on the people and the process of collecting hosted by curator/producer Alanna Heiss with artists Jon Kessler, Dennis Oppenheim, and Ena Swansea. Tales of wonder and joy, analysis, technical observations, anecdotes, and personal experiences to try to get to the bottom of what makes a collector an angel, and what makes a collector grow horns.

The conversation takes its point of departure from the collector Francesca Von Habsburg and in particular an exhibition in Spain called Passages: Travels in Hyperspace that is formed from Von Habsburg's collection.
