Lynne Cooke and Douglas Crimp, "Mixed Use, Manhattan"

As the kickoff to the Public Art Fund's series of talks, titled "New York Stories," curators Lynne Cooke and Douglas Crimp will discuss their exhibition "Mixed Use, Manhattan: Photography and Related Practices, 1970s to the Present," which ran from June to September 2010 at the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofia, in Madrid. The show explored the ways in which contemporary artists living and working in New York over the past 40 year responded to the city around them, and how they incorporated aspects of it into their art.
