    • (2 of 3 Whitney Biennial Advisors recommended his work for
    inclusion, but the curators in wisdom and prudence thought
    better of it. One of the curators did offer the artist a friendly
    out-of-the-blue invitation to their birthday party in Venice
    a few months later, so that's something- if one were to make
    a concerted effort to view the cup as 50% full. There was also
    that ill-fated, quality-time, lunch at Sant Ambroeus, hmm.
    In any case, the artist still holds said curator in high regard and
    truly misses their positive energy and sunny personality. 🌈 ❤️ 🌈 ❤️ 🌈
    The artist remains very optimistic for 2040.)
