Arsenal Contemporary NY is pleased to present a conversation with Suzy Lake and Laurie Simmons in conjunction with Performance of Protest, Lake’s first solo exhibition in NY. Performance of Protest follows Lake’s five-decade spanning career, capturing her continued investigation of her own image as a means to probe and resist constructions of gender, identity and beauty. Beginning in the late 1960’s, Lake began documenting herself, investigating the female body’s relation to larger social forces. The conversation will begin at 7pm on Wednesday December 11 at Arsenal Contemporary NY, located at 214 Bowery.
The event is free and open to the public, please rsvp by emailing Lucie at lfrancdeferriere@arsenalcontemporary.com
