Painter Lisa Yuskavage speaks with Jarrett Earnest and Christian Viveros-Fauné
as part of the Converge 45 project. Earnest and Yuskavage curated the paintings of Jesse Murry (1948–1993) at the Cooley Gallery now. He is an abstract landscape painter and writer. Yuskavage was one of the artists curated by Linda Ferris into the Seattle Contemporary Art Project, now in the Seattle Art Museum collection. Portland Art Museum is behind with only 2 works on paper. In the 1980s, some of the art world rebelled against the Reagan Wall Street inorganic art boom by bringing outsider art into the American gallery and museum world. In that movement, Murry wrote a seminal essay on artist Howard Finster and curated his work for a show at the New Museum. https://d2b8urneelikat.cloudfront.net/media/collectiveaccess/images/6/3/59637_ca_object_representations_media_6333_original.pdf
