Downtown: Revisiting the Birthplace of the Artistic Counterculture
In conjunction with the exhibition The Downtown Show: The New York Art Scene, 1974–1984
Join Marvin J. Taylor, editor of The Downtown Book: The New York Art Scene 1974–1984 and Director, Fales Library, and Lynn Gumpert, Director, Grey Art Gallery, and a contributor to the book, for a glimpse into New York’s artistic counterculture. They will discuss the development of their joint Downtown project—which comprises both the book and The Downtown Show—focusing on the scene that shaped a generation of experimental and outsider artists.
Organized by the Makor/Steinhardt Center of the 92nd Street Y.
