"I cannot imagine a better qualified person than Jim Menzel-Joseph to present an in-depth and holistic view on the role of the artist in today's society. Art and Survival in the Twenty-First Century unveils a masterful body of work by a thought provoking and prodigious artist and philosopher." -- Richard Waxberg, Parsons School for Design, New York City, NY
