Episode 2 – 2015 Recap: Past, Present and Future Book 1
By Karin Merx & Elizabeth Amisu
‘It was in 2014 and we met on Twitter and decided that there needed to be one place where we could start to collect everything that had been written on Michael Jackson’s art, specifically his body of work and I remember we started this website and we started collecting articles like crazy.’ – Karin Merx.
