The Menil Collection presents a FotoFest Gallery Talk featuring Michelle White, and focusing on Harry Shunk’s “Leap into the Void”
Saturday, March 20, 2010, 3:00 p.m.
On October 23, 1960, photographer Harry Shunk’s camera captured artist Yves Klein hurling himself from a Parisian rooftop. The now iconic image, which has had a lasting influence on performance art, is one of some thirty works—by artists including Niki de Saint Phalle, Jean Tinguely, Christo, and Arman—gathered for the exhibition Leaps into the Void. Exhibition curator Michelle White’s gallery talk about Shunk’s photograph is presented in conjunction with FotoFest 2010.
