FINAL WEEKEND LATE-NIGHT PROGRAM
It Takes Two
Saturday–Sunday, April 23–24, 9 pm–4 am
Why do creative minds gravitate toward one another? What is the unique result of creating in pairs? Why is the trope of the comic/tragic duo so prevalent in film and literature? In this durational, multidisciplinary program, the Guggenheim invites a wide range of speakers and performers to address these questions on the occasion of the retrospective Peter Fischli David Weiss: How to Work Better. Organized by exhibition curators Nancy Spector and Nat Trotman, with Ben Vershbow, Director, NYPL Labs.
Participants include artist Matthew Barney and composer Jonathan Bepler, experimental electronic band Matmos, architects Elizabeth Diller and Ricardo Scofidio, filmmakers and producers Moira Demos and Laura Ricciardi, and philosopher Simon Critchley. View more at guggenheim.org/ittakestwo.
$30, $20 members, $15 students. Tickets include overnight access to the exhibition and a cash bar.
