The Parrish Art Museum will present its first outdoor program of the season, a screening of the 2018 documentary film “The Proposal” on Friday, June 4, from 7:30 to 10 PM.
The film is co-presented with Hamptons Doc Fest, in collaboration with Dia, and will include a conversation moderated by Senior Curator Corinne Erni with filmmaker and artist Jill Magid and Dia Art Foundation Associate Curator Matilde Guidelli-Guidi.
Known as “the artist among architects,” Luis Barragán is among the world’s most celebrated architects of the 20th century. Upon his death in 1988, much of his work was locked away in a Swiss bunker, hidden from the world’s view. In an attempt to resurrect Barragán’s life and art, boundary-redefining artist Magid creates a daring proposition that becomes a fascinating artwork in itself — a high-wire act of negotiation that explores how far an artist will go to democratize access to art.
The event takes place outdoors on the museum’s terrace and event lawn. Guests should bring chairs and are requested to arrive at 7:30 PM for the talk at 7:45 PM. The film will begin at 8:30 PM. Advance ticket purchase with pre-event registration is required. Visit www.parrishart.org.
