Randolph College
The 27th Annual Helen Clark Berlind Symposium
The 27th Berlind Symposium is held in conjunction with the 107th Annual Exhibition of Contemporary Art, Zeitgeist: The Art Scene of Teenage Basquiat, a group exhibition focusing on the artists and scene around Jean-Michel Basquiat’s teen-aged, pre-fame years. The period covered in the exhibition tells the story of Jean-Michel’s early work, peers, and creative community in gritty, pre-AIDS, downtown New York—before the rise of the 80s art and real estate juggernaut.
Saturday, October 20
2 pm Reading by Luc Sante
Reception to follow.
A writer and critic in New York City, Sante was also an acquaintance of Jean-Michel Basquiat in the early 1980s. He has written a number of books and is a frequent contributor to The New York Review of Books.
