Visit the Chelsea, New York home and studio of Louise Bourgeois, the French-American artist known for her giant spider sculptures, including Maman. Her work, spanning sculpture, installation, fabric and drawing, draws on memories of her childhood in France, her family's tapestry restoration workshop, and themes of the body, fear and family. Later in life, she hosted Sunday salons here, where young artists came to show and discuss their work. See her sculptures, fabric works and drawings, and hear about her 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.
