    David Mendoza – The past half-century – Carrying on 5/29/17, 1205 PM Carrying on "You can't do everything . at least not all at once." David Mendoza – The past half-century MAY 29, 2017 / ANNE FOCKE / LEAVE A COMMENT This story starts at the University of Washington, heads o! to Europe, comes back to the Seattle art world, then moves on to New York City, the fierce battles of the Culture Wars, and his life in Bali today, while reminding us of our continuing need for vigilance, activism, and courage. Fi!y years ago, David Mendoza and I graduated in the same year from the same university with undergraduate degrees in the same subject, art history.1 As the of"cial “Alum in Residence” at the University of Washington’s School of Art + Art History + Design for the 2016-2017 academic year, I invited David, who has remained a friend, to come back to the school and join me in a conversation about what he’s done with the years since we graduated. So, on November 21, 2016, he and I sat in the school’s Jacob Lawrence Gallery with an assembled group of students, faculty, staff, and community members. My opening question to David was, “So, what have you done with your art history degree?” As he told us the story that follows, it was clear that he’d given the question a lot of thought in advance. And no one wanted him to stop once he got started. A resume can tell you that David has been director of the Foster/White Gallery, executive assistant to the chair of the New York State Council on the Arts, the "rst director of Artist Trust, the "rst executive director of the National Campaign for Freedom of Expression, and a long-time board member of Art Matters foundation.
