On Tuesday, July 26, 2011, Stephanie T. Foster and Thomas E. Freston hosted a private viewing of the Asia Society's exhibition Ai Weiwei: New York Photographs 1983-1993, an exhibition of more than 200 photographs that capture the free-spirited events, creative personalities and protest movements that defined New York’s East Village in the 1980s. The exhibition is on view to the public through August 14.
The evening featured a curator-led tour of the exhibition by Asia Society Museum Director Melissa Chiu, followed by a discussion led by Chiu with musician Steven Taylor, who performed regularly with Allen Ginsberg for two decades, poet and writer Bob Rosenthal, who was Ginsberg’s long-time secretary, and art historian and photographer Joan Lebold Cohen.
