Conversations with Contemporary Artists: Reimaginig the Life of Flora Mayo with Teresa Hubbard / Alexander Birchler Wednesday, September 5, 6:30 pm Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum

In the Swiss Pavilion at the 57th Venice Biennale, the Swiss-American duo Teresa Hubbard / Alexander Birchler presented Flora, a film installation, and its accompanying work, Bust. The work employs reconstruction, reenactment, and documentary material to imagine the life of Flora Mayo, a largely unknown American artist who was Alberto Giacometti’s lover during the time she studied in Paris in the 1920s. In this special evening program on the occasion of the Guggenheim’s presentation of Giacometti<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.guggenheim.org_exhibition_giacometti&d=DwIF-g&c=8v77JlHZOYsReeOxyYXDU39VUUzHxyfBUh7fw_ZfBDA&r=eSxTI5Sxq–Csep8quECCDrPJQoTwv0ZY3zIHnsMIyI&m=pXvKyIauMWRZmM0Z_43CgVTHYMT4aBAIRVGeDl63yn8&s=75QAr4pR6mH3ymC4zFr7cBtQ4LEVrvTlk-ExZl1gwZk&e=>, the artists reflect on their research, ideas of reframing history, and their newly made discoveries with relation to the 20th-century master.

This program is part of the Elaine Terner Cooper Education Fund Conversations with Contemporary Artists series and concludes with a reception and exhibition viewing.
