In celebration of Art21's newest book Artists & the Unknown: Art21 Interviews with Artists, Screening Society provides a selection of films featuring artists who explore how we use randomness, mystery, and unknowability to try to answer some of life’s biggest questions.
What does the “unknown” mean? It is something we encounter in ways big and small every day of our lives. It appears when we wake up and wonder what the day holds, as we watch the world around us change, develop, and decay, and in our risks, dreams, and curiosities.The unknown can appear unexpectedly, at any time, and with myriad forms and faces. What do we do with that information? At Art21, we look to artists. Drawn from over two decades of interviews with the leading artists of the 21st century, the book Artists & the Unknown: Art21 Interviews with Artists captures engaging, inspiring, and stimulating conversations that explore encounters with the unknown, from an election cycle to health crisis. Featuring the works and words of 18 groundbreaking contemporary artists, this collection serves as a guide and a companion in your own encounters with unknowability.
🌟Doors at 4pm. Screening starts promptly at 4:15pm.🌟
This event is presented in collaboration with Art21. For more information, visit art21.org.
