Description

Virtual Talkback with Artists of "Brutal Beauty" Martha Posner and Amy Arbus’ photo and mixed media collaboration keeps the #MeToo dialogue going. The two artists will discuss an installation of Amy's photographs of women wearing Martha's handwritten garments. Inspired by women everywhere, the project pairs art and the female experience, bringing awareness to stories that need to be seen and heard. Amy Arbus is a native New Yorker known for her style feature, On The Street, which ran in The Village Voice from 1980-1990. Her photographs have been published in her five books and in hundreds of periodicals such as New York Magazine, The New Yorker, Aperture and The New York Times Magazine. Her photographs are in the collections of The National Theater in Norway, The Museum of Modern Art, The New York Public Library and The Metropolitan Museum of Art.
