Between the Two: Art and Sexuality in 1960s New York
Continue reading: Between the Two: Art and Sexuality in 1960s New YorkWebinar Series June 15 to June 29, 2023 at 1:00 pm ET Join us this June for Between the Two: Art and Sexuality in 1960s New York, a webinar series that will explore gender, sexuality and eroticism in the art of early 1960s New York, with a particular focus on ideas and artists circulating around Pop, Performance and Neo-Dada. The series begins from the thesis that the exploration of gender and sexuality was not simply a secondary theme, but a constitutive element of artistic development during this period. Moreover, it seeks to expand on recent scholarship that explores queer, trans, and feminist perspectives in the art of the period and in the art historical approaches to it.
