Artist Talk: Leslie Thornton

Leslie Thornton has produced an influential body of work in film and video. Her early encounters with experimental, structuralist, and cinéma vérité traditions as a student in the 1970s fueled her iconoclastic take on the moving image and gave shape to her practice of weaving together her own footage and voice with archival film and audio. Attend this talk as Thornton will discuss her work in Begin Again, Again, her artistic research practice and will delve into the significance of her subjects. The talk will conclude in a facilitated Q & A session with exhibition curator, Natalie Bell. Free but RSVP required.
