Person Place Thing: Laurie Anderson

After 12 years writing “The Ethicist” for The New York Times Magazine, Randy Cohen invites you to his new project, Person Place Thing, an interview show in which one amazing guest tells three insightful and often hilarious stories.

Laurie Anderson is one of America’s most renowned—and daring—creative pioneers. Known primarily for her multimedia presentations, she has cast herself in roles as varied as visual artist, composer, poet, photographer, filmmaker, electronics whiz, vocalist, and instrumentalist. Laurie Anderson’s visual work has been presented in major museums throughout the United States and Europe. In 2007, she received the prestigious Dorothy and Lillian Gish Prize for her outstanding contribution to the arts. In 2015, her film Heart of a Dog was chosen as an official selection of the 2015 Venice and Toronto Film Festivals, and her exhibition titled Habeas Corpus opened at the Park Avenue Armory to wide critical acclaim. Anderson was married to the late Lou Reed, and currently lives in New York City.
