Julia Draganovic & Manon Slome, No Longer Empty

Hosted by Michael Rush

Originally aired on Friday, January 7th, 2011

It is no longer a secret that times of economic stress can afford opportunities for artists and curators who like to work with artists, especially when it comes to space. Curatorial entrepreneurs Manon Slome and Julia Draganovic, both veterans of the real estate failure that was the Chelsea Art Museum, discuss their re-birth with No Longer Empty, a moveable artist feast that has already transformed spaces on Governor's Island, an old Tower records store, the Chelsea Hotel and several overlooked lots into thriving temporary artist sites.
