Gary Baseman—Mythical Creatures May 22, 2013

By phone reservation only: (310) 440-4599
Listen as Gary Baseman discusses his recent travels to his parents’ hometowns in Eastern Europe and dissects the complex history of the area, a place vastly transformed from when his family called it home. The artist reflects on the experience and on his own heritage, and shares tales he heard of “mythical creatures” while on this journey. A Q&A and book signing follow the program.
