Talking Downtown NYC in the 80s and 90s with Carlo McCormick

Carlo McCormick is more than a cultural critic and curator. He’s a seminal figure in the evolution of the Downtown art scene where he’s lived for more than 40 years. Championing work from marginal communities, he’s written hundreds of catalogue essays about contemporary artists and contributed to Paper, the East Village Eye, Juxtapoz and many other publications and in the process become perhaps the world’s foremost authority on street art and graffiti. Here he talks with “Beginnings" host and Paper magazine founder David Hershkovits.
