Studio Visit with Jean-Michel Basquiat
Visit the Great Jones Street studio of Jean-Michel Basquiat, the New York artist who went from spray-painting SAMO© tags around Lower Manhattan to becoming one of the defining painters of the 1980s. His raw, energetic canvases mix words, crowns, skulls and anatomical drawings, drawing on jazz, history and his Haitian and Puerto Rican heritage to take on race, power and fame. See his paintings, notebooks and works in progress, and hear about his process. Small group, casual conversation.

I'm a sculptor exploring the body, its representations, and the ambiguities of gender. My work draws on feminist and queer discourse to create forms that hold fragility and vulnerability alongside poetic force and active agency.
