In conjunction with the exhibition Around Day’s End: Downtown New York 1970-1986, this conversation brings together writers, scholars, and curators to discuss four of the key artists working in New York City during this period: Alvin Baltrop, David Hammons, Joan Jonas, and Gordon Matta-Clark. Each speaker reflects on individual works by these artists as well as the larger field of artistic practice in and around the city, particularly along the waterfront. The conversation is moderated by Laura Phipps, assistant curator.
