Join us for a screening and discussion with artist Sara Magenheimer and curator Margot Norton. This program is held in conjunction with Magenheimer’s video installation “NOON,” on view in the Storefront Window of the New Museum’s 231 Bowery building from January 24 through April 15, 2018. Working across a range of media, including video, sound, performance, sculpture, collage, and installation, New York–based artist Sara Magenheimer disrupts, manipulates, and defamiliarizes language with bold combinations of image and text.
