This documentary, a work in progress, sheds light on the life and work of Greek-born Lucas Samaras, called by some an ever-changing artist undefined by any one movement. It features interviews with the artist and those who know him most intimately, including Pace Gallery founder Arne Glimcher and noted art historian and critic Barbara Rose among others, set against a vivid backdrop of Samaras’s own creations. The directors, Tassos Rigopoulos and Joanna Yuen will host a question and answer session following the screening.
The exhibition Dreams in Dust: The Pastels of Lucas Samaras will be open for program attendees before and after the screening.
