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, chronicles the true nature of East Village New York from the 1970s to 1980s, from transforming queens, homosexuality in love or struggling relationships, heterosexual couples, drug addiction and sex, and personal life. The video work “Sirens” from the Venice Biennale in 2022 will also be presented at this exhibition.

On the opening day, we will be playing a documentary chronicling the life and creation of Goldin's life and creation, as well as the organization P.A.I.N., which she founded in 2017, through which Goldin launched a series of public protests against the Sackler family, demanding that the family be removed from major art museums and schools. and request to stop accepting their donations. Jenny Yeh, Executive Director of Winsing Arts Foundation, will also attend the opening on Saturday to share the exhibition and how he feels about Goldin's work.
