Informed by therapeutic approaches, EFA Project Space's current exhibition, Progeny!, pairs a group of contemporary artists with their artist-parents to explore relationships of influence, genetics, and interdependence within artistic families. As the exhibition draws to a close, the curators have decided to bring in a professional. Psychoanalyst Jamieson Webster will walk through the exhibition and discuss the works on view with curators David Levine, Michelle Levy, and some of the participating artists.

This event is free and open to the public.
