In this discussion, Kate Fowle, Chief Curator of Garage Museum of Contemporary Art, will talk with artist Robert Longo about the exhibition Proof: Francisco Goya, Sergei Eisenstein, Robert Longo.
Proof was developed through extensive conversations between the artist and curator arising out of Longo’s decades-long influence of Goya and Eisenstein. This talk will reveal the ideas behind the process of working on the exhibition.

He has had retrospective exhibitions at the Hamburger Kunstverein and Deichtorhallen; the Menil Collection in Houston; the Los Angeles County Museum of Art; the Museum of Contemporary Art in Chicago; the Wadsworth Athenaeum and the Isetan Museum of Art in Tokyo. Group exhibitions include Documenta (1987 and 1982); the Whitney Biennial (2004 and 1983); and the Venice Biennale (1997.)
