“Suzanne Bocanegra’s art is an antidote to the history-free, prepackaged world that threatens every day to overwhelm us. Her work is also beautiful.” – The New Yorker
“An illuminating theatrical portrait of the mind of an artist at work.” –New York Times
Visual artist Suzanne Bocanegra uses theater to interrogate the history and practice of visual art. Part performance, part memoir, and part gleefully rambling cultural essay, her “Artist Lectures” are intensely personal, exhaustively researched, and kaleidoscopically wide-ranging, exploring not only how and why she became an artist, but also general meditations on art-making, history, popular culture and our shifting ideals of human beauty.
The first performance in a four part series taking stage at NYU Skirball this season, Farmhouse/Whorehouse
Starring actress Lili Taylor and directed by Lee Sunday Evans.
Farmhouse/Whorehouse is the first of four lectures by Suzanne Bocanegra taking place throughout NYU Skirball’s 2023-24 Season. The series will also include When a Priest Marries a Witch (Nov 27), Bodycast (Jan 29), and Honor (Apr 8). Tickets for the spring season events will go on sale at a later date to be determined.
