Guggenheim Teen Night

Thank you to everyone who made it out to the teen night we worked on with the New Museum. We even got a New York Times mention!

We're excited to announce the Teen Night at the Guggenheim. We met with many of the Guggenheim staff back in the end of April to start working on this! This teen night will be slightly different, in that the night will revolve around one artist: Rineke Dijkstra. Dijkstra's works are mainly portrait photography and videos capturing youth (they are absolutely incredible). The artist will be onsite, in conversation with one of the subjects of her portraits, Almerisa, and the curator of the show, Jennifer Blessing.

Here's the rundown:
