Glasstire

William Sarradet speaks with artist, lecturer, and Glasstire contributor Renee Lai about the inaugural Friends Fair and the Affordable Art Fair in Austin. “Every room that I went into, I looked in the bathroom first... I got my impression from each booth by what was going on in the bathroom. The more outrageous or custom or funny the bathroom was, the more it predisposed me to whatever else was in the room.” See related readings here: https://glasstire.com/2025/05/31/art-dirt-reporting-on-the-austin-art-fairs If you enjoy Glasstire and would like to support our work, please consider donating.
