Laurie Anderson: On Art and Tragedy
Release Date:
On November 16th, 2015, in the wake of devastating attacks in Paris, Laurie Anderson joined us on the lecture couch to talk about how art and artists respond to tragedy. Back in the ’70s, Anderson turned the pop world upside down by throwing together surreal performance, spoken word tone poems, and abstract synth grooves. Widely influential for her use of early samplers and invented electronic instruments, she has collaborated with Brian Eno, Andy Kaufman and late husband Lou Reed.
