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.
