Visionaries Series: Hilton Als on Diane Arbus

jewish giantHilton Als will read from a new, unpublished essay about photographer Diane Arbus and her passionate engagement with New York City. Arbus is a perfect vehicle for Als’s meditation. Running from privilege, she took herself further and further away from anything that could be described as normative and descended into a world teetering on the brink of the void. Like Als, she saw herself in her subjects, but for her life became a desperate struggle to disassociate from them. Join us for the telling of this story.

The Stuart Regen Visionaries Series at the New Museum, supported by the Stuart Regen Visionaries Fund, honors forward-thinking leaders in the fields of art, architecture, design, film and related disciplines of contemporary culture. Now in its seventh season, the annual series spotlights innovators who shape intellectual life and define the future of culture.
