Introduction
Winsing Arts Foundation opens this Saturday, November 11, with a solo exhibition by influential American contemporary photographer Nan Goldin. The Ballad of Sexual Dependency, a seminal work in Goldin’'s career, documents the true nature of East Village New York from the 1970s to the 1980s, from drag queens, homosexual love and struggle relationships, heterosexual couples, drug addiction and sex, and personal life. The video work Sirens showcased at the Venice Biennale in 2022 will also be presented at this exhibition.
On the opening day, we will screen All the Beauty and Bloodshed, a documentary chronicling Goldin’s life, work and the organization P.A.I.N., which she founded in 2017. Through P.A.I.N., Goldin launched a series of public protests against the Sackler family, demanding that the family be removed from major art museums and schools and that they stop accepting their donations. Jenny Yeh, Director of the Winsing Arts Foundation, will also attend the opening on Saturday to share the exhibition and how he feels about Goldin’'s work.
