HILTON ALS AND MARY WANG IN CONVERSATION

For this season’s inaugural Miscellaneous Files event—in association with the School of Visual Arts’ Curatorial Practice program—Hilton Als will join Guernica senior editor Mary Wang in conversation.

Hilton Als once called the essay “a form without a form”—a description equally applicable to his work as a staff writer and theater critic for The New Yorker, but also to his work as a curator. For this virtual studio visit, writer and editor Mary Wang will use clips from films foundational to Als’ practice to discuss the formal transgressions in his work and how such methods can help bring muddled presents into shape.*
