Stanford University’s Bill Lane Center for the American West, together with the Minnesota Street Project and Fraenkel Gallery, invite you to attend "The School: Diane Arbus’s Untitled Photographs.” This free public lecture in San Francisco features Professor Alex Nemerov, Chair of Stanford University’s Art & Art History Department. This event will take place at 1275 Minnesota Street Project, an innovative art collective located in the Dogpatch neighborhood that features 10 leading Bay Area art galleries. Come for the lecture and then visit the art!
On Saturday, February 4 from 3-5pm, Professor Nemerov will lecture on Diane Arbus’s photographs taken at mental asylums between 1969 and 1971, exploring the relation of these extraordinary pictures to the poems of Arbus’s brother, the poet Howard Nemerov. Professor Alexander Nemerov, the son of Howard and the nephew of Diane, will also speak on how he feels connected to the Untitled photographs and to his father’s poetry. This lecture is based on Professor Nemerov’s recently published book entitled: Silent Dialogues: Diane Arbus & Howard Nemerov (Fraenkel Gallery, 2015), and is part of the Bill Lane Center’s ArtsWest Initiative, which seeks to highlight the contributions of arts and humanities in the American West.
