Eva Hesse 1965

Taking inspiration from the exhibition Eva Hesse 1965, currently on view at Hauser & Wirth, in London, this panel reexamines Hesse's legacy by focusing on her artistic experimentation during 1965, a pivotal period when she rethought her approach to color, materials, and two-dimensional work, and formed the foundation for her sculptural practice. Elisabeth Sussman, Sondra Gilman Curator of Photography at the Whitney Museum of American Art, moderates a conversation among writer William S. Wilson and contributors to the exhibition catalogue Todd Alden, Susan Fisher Sterling, and Kirsten Swenson.
This event took place at the Elizabeth A. Sackler Center for Feminist Art on March 16, 2013. Video courtesy Elizabeth A. Sackler Foundation.

This is an excellent, enlightening discussion of a key year in Hesse's career. A useful reading of H's mechanical drawings, their links to Duchamp and Picabia and to the actual reality of the factory/studio they worked in. Recommended.

(1:19:17) I'm SURE the sub-text of Tom Doyle being invited to Germany was the fact of his having a Jewish wife, although it NEVER would have been stated. William Wilson, I believe, is correct.

They’re evil

[@casteretpollux]

Agree with all of the above. But it was very hard to listen to the genderisation of her and her life at the expense of looking at her art. Too much gossip.

Yes! I thought so too.
