Though overlooked by much of the American art establishment, Paul Thek’s ephemeral installations and collaborative strategies continue to inform and influence a generation of younger artists. Join Rachel Harrison, acclaimed conceptual artist, and Elisabeth Sussman, co-curator of Paul Thek: Diver A Retrospective, as they take a closer look at this “artist’s artist,” his work, and his broad-reaching impact on the contemporary art scene.
