An Evening with Carrie Mae Weems and ART21
- 7:30PM
In this ongoing collaboration, BAMcinématek invites celebrated visual artists to present their work on the big screen alongside ART21’s acclaimed documentaries, while discussing their careers and sharing their greatest influences. ART21 is the preeminent chronicler of contemporary art, inspiring a more creative world through the work and words of living artists.
In a career spanning three decades, celebrated artist Carrie Mae Weems has boldly confronted issues of race, class, gender, and personal identity in her innovative film and video work. Fresh off a comprehensive retrospective at the Guggenheim this spring, Weems joins BAMcinématek and ART21 for a screening of select works and the acclaimed documentary revealing her process. The screening will be followed by a conversation with Weems and former MoMA curator Laurence Kardish.
