TimesTalks Downtown: Ryan McGinley and Marilyn Minter

Don’t miss this exciting opportunity to see New York-based photographer Ryan McGinley in conversation with painter, photographer, and provocateur Marilyn Minter.

The duo will discuss McGinley’s current exhibition at the Museum of Contemporary Art Denver, “Ryan McGinley: The Kids Were Alright” and its accompanying catalogue (co-published by MCA Denver and Rizzoli), which focuses on his earliest photographs and Polaroids documenting his friends and collaborators’ often debauched lifestyle in downtown N.Y.C. Marilyn Minter, the subject of a traveling exhibition co-organized by MCA Denver and currently on view at the Brooklyn Museum, explores the relationship between the body and cultural anxieties around sexuality and desire. Join McGinley and Minter for a spirited discussion about capturing the depth and dissonance of their respective generations. The talk will be moderated by Linda Yablonsky, a contributing writer for The New York Times and T Magazine. Reception to follow.
