Paula Cooper

And I really don't want to say too much more than that before we get into it.

So join us as we discuss Paula Cooper, a juvenile that was sentenced to die for her crimes.

And thank you to listener Willett Lee for requesting this case.

Thank you, Willett.

Thank you, Willett, sir.

Now, Paula Cooper was born on August 25th, 1969 in Gary, Indiana.

Home of the legend, Michael Jackson.

And honestly, both of them had extremely rough childhoods, just in very different ways.

And when I got out of grad school, obviously needed to make money, and I started working for Robert Gober.

And y- I, I worked for him at a time he had left Paula Cooper.

He was without a gallery, and he was working on the American Pavilion for the Venice Biennale.

And he was doing this all on his own.

Shelley, uh, Tompkins, of course, she could ch- she could do really well if she put some mind to it.

Ashley Jennings, Paula Cooper, Marion Gilbert, Emma Kirkwood.

Again, she has so much energy.

I don't know how she was jumping around after the, um, after the ultra.

is if freeze is launching a new fair somewhere you can bet your bottom dollar they're going to their most loyal galleries and saying please show faith and come come for one year come for two years because if you still want us to give you a good spot in la in london and in new york you need to come and be a bit loyal to us and and come to free soul But of course they can only really do that for one or two years if these galleries, for whatever reason, aren't selling anything.

So Paula Cooper did the fair for three years, and then this year they staged a pop-up show to freeze house soul.

That's soul's equivalent to Court Street No. 9.

And I think the gallery seems to be quite positive about this move because it's very different from showing at a fair that lasts for just a few days because it's a three-week window, so they have more opportunity.
