Kicking off the spring 2011 Public Art Fund Talks series "New York Stories," noted curators Lynne Cooke and Douglas Crimp will discuss their exhibition Mixed Use, Manhattan: Photography and Related Practices, 1970s to the Present, which was on view at the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofia in Madrid from June through September 2010.
Mixed Use, Manhattan surveyed the how artists have used New York City's run-down lofts, abandoned piers, vacant lots, and deserted streets during its period of intensive de-industrialization in the 1970s and continuing to the present. As a centerpiece of their show, Cooke and Crimp reassembled Projects: Pier 18, Willoughby Sharp's 1971 collection of 27 artists' projects arranged on a dilapidated Hudson River pier. Mixed Use, Manhattan also featured more than 250 works by 40 artists, including Danny Lyon, Joan Jonas, Peter Hujar, Thomas Struth, Zoe Leonard, David Wojarowicz, Barbara Probst, Steve McQueen, and Emily Roysdon. Cooke and Crimp will discuss the genesis and realization of the exhibition and the accompanying film program and catalogue, using installation views, photographs, and film clips to illustrate their conversation.
