Charlene Vickers: the map is not the territory

On this episode of the Portland Art Museum Podcast, we present the audio interview of Charlene Vickers, edited only for pauses in the conversation and chatter between Charlene and the interviewer. The other voice you will hear is Grace Kook-Anderson, the Arlene and Harold Schnitzer of Northwest Art and curator of the map is not the territory.
