Jeffrey Deitch + Jay Sanders: Oct 6

Jeffrey Deitch & Jay Sanders in Conversation

Artists Space
$5 Entrance Donation, Members Free

In 1975 Christopher D’Arcangelo participated in the group exhibition Lives: Artists Who Deal With Peoples’ Lives (Including Their Own) As The Subject And/Or The Medium of Their Work, curated by Jeffrey Deitch. After meeting at John Weber Gallery in New York where both were working at the time, their dialogue resulted in an essay by the curator that focused on the artist’s actions in New York museums. Jeffrey Deitch will be in conversation with curator Jay Sanders discussing D’Arcangelo’s work, its critical position in relation to the museum, and the particular cultural context of New York in the mid 1970s.
