Join us for an evening of short experimental films. In conjunction with the exhibition Claes Oldenburg & Peter Moore: New York Streets & Signs, these five films capture the city streets in the 1950s and 1960s, a source of inspiration for many artists including Oldenburg and Moore.
The final film in the program, Stan VanDerBeek’s Snapshots of the City, shows Oldenburg's first Happening, performed at the Judson Memorial Church in 1960.
