What It Means to Hold Something
in conversation with Mosa Molapo
Let us start uncomfortably. You decide what gains value.
I decide what I buy. The market decides what gains value. But I take the point, those are not as separate as I would like them to be.
Does that responsibility change what you look at?
It changes how long I look. I am slower than I was. I no longer trust the thing I want immediately.
I no longer trust the thing I want immediately.
And custody? You are holding work that was made about a community you are not from.
That is the part I think about most and speak about least. Holding is not neutral. I do not have a resolution for you. I have a practice of asking.
