Screening

The Ballad of Philip Guston

Talk

Thursday, February 13, 2025
6:30 – 7:30 pm EST
Scheuer Auditorium

Join filmmaker Jem Cohen for a screening of The Ballad of Philip Guston (2023, HD, 28 min), an evocative short piece in which Cohen connects with the work and legacy of the painter Philip Guston (1913–1980) through first person reflection. Cohen is known for a unique style of filmmaking, at once, unadorned, lyrical, sincere, and yet also raw and confronting. His work often explores deeper themes in society, a parallel to the work of both visual artists in the exhibition, Draw Them In, Paint Them Out: Trenton Doyle Hancock Confronts Philip Guston. After the screening, Cohen will be in conversation with writer and curator Randy Kennedy, who currently serves as Director of Special Projects for Hauser & Wirth. 

 

Tickets: $15 General; $10 Students, Seniors, and Jewish Museum members; Includes Museum Admission
