Saturday evening, October 5, 2019, was the opening night to Flaherty NYC’s Fall 2019 program SURFACE KNOWLEDGE, presented with one of our new screening partners Metrograph in the Lower East Side. The program’s theme, ELECTRIC NARCISSUS, was remarkably curated by co-curators Courtney Stephens and Mathilde Walker-Billaud. Following the screening, art historian and media theorist Kris Paulsen and artist Joan Jonas engaged in an insightful discussion in which the audience was exposed to Joan and how she considers her formal process and work in relation to the present day. ELECTRIC NARCISSUS was presented in partnership with Electric Arts Intermix (EAI) and co-presented with Triple Canopy.
