Author Jessica Glasscock continues New York University’s 2003 “Different Voices Public Program Series.” Sponsored by the Department of Art and Art Professions in NYU’s Steinhardt School of Education, Glasscock’s presentation will include an introduction to her new book, Striptease: From Gaslight to Spotlight (Abrams, 2003). The presentation will be held on Thursday, Nov. 6 at 6:30 p.m.
This fall’s “Different Voices Public Program Series” concludes with artist Gregory Crewdson, whose presentation will feature his signature surreal photographs, which are carefully constructed, much like sets for a film-a single photograph might employ the work of a 35-person crew and take up to one month to produce. Crewdson was featured in the Guggenheim’s Moving Pictures exhibition and is currently developing a film commissioned by the Whitney Museum of American Art. His presentation will be held on Thursday, Nov. 13 at 6:30 p.m.
Both presentations, which are free and open to the public, will take place in Einstein Auditorium, 34 Stuyvesant Street (between 3rd and 2nd Aves. at 9th St.), in Manhattan. For more information contact (212) 998-5799 or visit www.nyu.edu/education/art.
