This program pulls from Paul Tschinkel's pioneering ART/new york video series: a 1982 studio interview with a 21-year-old Jean-Michel Basquiat on Crosby Street, Robert Mapplethorpe talking candidly in his 1983 downtown loft, and Nan Goldin at a pivotal moment in her career. It is rare footage you will not find on a streaming service. If you care about how downtown art looked from inside the studios, see this on a big screen.
What to expect
A long archival documentary program of interviews, exhibition footage and studio documentation, shown in Roxy Cinema's small basement theater and followed by a conversation.
