Bill Viola: Oct 27

Walter Annenberg Annual Lecture: Bill Viola
Tuesday, October 27 7 pm
Whitney Museum

A pioneer in the medium of video art, Bill Viola has been instrumental in establishing video as a vital form of contemporary art. Often drawing on religious iconography and historical narratives, Viola’s work exhibits a simple and elegant beauty that exceeds the complex technology of its presentation. As he states, “It only takes an instant for an impression to become a vision.” In this fifth Annenberg Lecture, Viola will speak about his work in conversation with Adam D. Weinberg, the Whitney’s Alice Pratt Brown Director.

Admission is free, but registration is required. Seats will be available on a first-come, first-served basis.
