Douglas Crimp: Before Pictures

An evening celebrating the publication of Before Pictures, a new book by Douglas Crimp about New York City during the 1970s. Part autobiography, part cultural history, Before Pictures includes chapters about Crimp’s encounters with performance art and dance—Merce Cunningham, George Balanchine, disco, and more. Crimp will read portions of those chapters and discuss Before Pictures with a stellar cast of interlocutors: Judson Dance Theater founder, filmmaker, and choreographer Yvonne Rainer; choreographer and former Cunningham dancer Silas Riener; and New York City Ballet principal dancer Adrian Danchig-Waring.
