It was over New Years when I first met Evan Purdy and Molly Maltman. Enthusiastically they described to me their vision of a collective future: artists, living and working together, creating a space in which they can display their work without having to compromise for commercial gain. It felt like a utopian aspiration, though not a completely implausible proposition. Now, in the Parisian gloom of an April washout, I talk to them again through the miracle of technology, all about how to curate a more cooperative future for young artists.
