The Carl & Marilynn Thoma Foundation’s Carl Thoma (President) & Kathleen Forde (Director and Curator, Media Arts) joined Peter Bauman on the occasion of Interference: The Interactive Art of Daniel Rozin at The Museum of Art + Light (MoA+L). They cover the origin and evolution of Carl Thoma’s collecting instincts as well as Thoma Foundation’s collecting thesis and loan philosophy for Digital & Media Art. They close by discussing the art-historical framing of Rozin’s Interference. The Carl & Marilynn Thoma Art Foundation stewards a 1,700+ work collection spanning Art of the Spanish Americas, Digital & Media Art, Japanese Bamboo and Post-war Painting & Sculpture. It supports the field through loans, research, exhibitions, conservation and over $26 million in grants since its founding in 2014.
