Portrait of an artist
On International Women’s Day, Grabigouji: Life of Disappearance, Brigitte Cornand's intimate and haunting portrait of artist and sculptor Louise Bourgeois had its US premiere on Friday, March 8, at New York's French Institute Alliance Française. It was presented as part of her My Beautiful Women series, which celebrates female artists through film. I met up with her in the theatre before the sneak preview screening for a conversation during the opening reception for Manifesto, featuring artists Ellen Berkenblit, Haley Mellin, Olympia Scarry, Lola Montes Schnabel, & Ena Swansea, co-curated by Vogue Style Editor-at-Large Elisabeth von Thurn und Taxis & Tony Guerrero, Director of Visual Arts at FIAF.
Following our conversation, Robert Storr, Dean of the Yale University School of Art and a former Senior Curator at the Museum of Modern Art introduced the film to a sold-out audience.
