1/ thread discussing art galleries by Kendric when I was writing Aristillus 1 & 2 I thought a lot about what retail spaces look like in the future ; the TLDR is that I think we'll have a lot less, but I think that we'll see _SOCIAL_ spaces grow.https://twitter.com/kendrictonn/status/1460354531217317890 …

Anybody here been to a high end gallery opening? (
@kendrictonn, put your hand down) It's very much a bar with cool art and you get to hang out with other well-off people who like art instead of, you know, the kind of riff-raff that hangs out in bars. -
