"Published in conjunction with 'Rebirth,' held at Texas State University's Respiratory Care facility during the COVID-19 quarantine" "At first exposure to Christopher Fitzgerald's Portals series, I was reminded of those intellectually fortified European salons, Paris being the most notable, with its equally hegemonic counterpart just across the English Channel. While these notoriously anachronistic academies all professed a commitment to steer and safeguard their respective nation's cultural production, they were more proficient at persevering the artistic aesthetic du jour, and by convenient extension, the associated careers, professional reputations and closed loop marketplace of its membership." - from beginning of foreword by Chad Darbyshire.
