The New York Freud Lacan Analytic Group

Invites
Contemporary Culture and Psychoanalysis Seminar

"Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty"
at The Metropolitan Museum of Art

August 3rd - 8:30PM, Barnard College, room 302, 3rd floor

Free and open to all!

Discussion led by Robert Buck & Cyrus Saint Amand Poliakoff

The new seminar dedicated to psychoanalysis and contemporary culture
will discuss the sensational retrospective of designer Alexander
McQueen at The Metropolitan Museum of Art on view through August 7th
2011. The unprecedented, mass phenomenon of the exhibition invites us
to consider the status of the Semblant and the object in fashion, one
distinct from the art object in an era of the primacy of Jouissance.
"I want to be the purveyor of a certain silhouette or a way of
cutting so that when I am dead and gone people will know that the 21st
century was started by Alexander McQueen." - Alexander McQueen

It is recommended to have visited the exhibit at:
The Metropolitan Museum of Art
1000 Fifth Avenue, New York
