New Perspectives on Louise Bourgeois – feat. Juliet Mitchell, Siri Hustvedt | MoMA LIVE

Join us for a conversation between psychoanalyst Juliet Mitchell, renowned author of Psychoanalysis and Feminism, and Siri Hustvedt, a celebrated novelist and essayist whose most recent work is "A Woman Looking at Men Looking at Women." Topics will include Bourgeois’s intense engagement with psychoanalysis; the way art functioned for her; the connection between her moods, her body, and her imagery; literary dimensions of her provocative writings; and issues relating to feminism. Exhibition curator Deborah Wye, a longtime friend of the artist's and a scholar of her work, moderates. Learn more: http://mo.ma/2lNlQec This program is made possible by the Anna Marie and Robert F.
