UPCOMING EVENT
FARMHOUSE / WHOREHOUSE
An Artist Lecture by Suzanne Bocanegra Starring Lili Taylor
Sunday, October 6
Crandell Theatre, 48 Main St., Chatham NY
Part artist lecture, part memoir, part cultural essay, Farmhouse/Whorehouse, an Artist Lecture by Suzanne Bocanegra Starring Lili Taylor considers the lives of Bocanegra’s grandparents on their small farm in La Grange, Texas, which was located across the road from the Chicken Ranch, better known as “The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas.”
Artists Frances McDormand and Suzanne Bocanegra have joined forces with Shaker Museum to present Cradled, a thought-provoking exhibition that explores the transcendent impact of the Shakers’ communal embrace from cradle to grave through objects, values, and inspired modern-day artistic expression.
