Photographer and filmmaker Gillian Laub has spent decades using her camera to explore and investigate regions of political, social and psychological conflict, inviting both her subjects and viewers into the complicated conversations of repair and reconciliation. In 2016, in the midst of the most divisive election in US history, with her family on two sides of the gaping divide, Laub discovered that the discord that historically captivated her was inextricably linked to the complex and loving relationships she had been chronicling in her own family for more than two decades.
Held in partnership with Reboot, join ICP for a conversation between Gillian Laub and psychoanalyst Dr. Orna Guralnik, therapist of the Showtime critically acclaimed series Couples Therapy. They will examine the vulnerability, vitriol, pain, humor and love that Laub explores and shares in her ICP exhibition Family Matters on view through January 10, 2022 and in her deeply personal monograph Family Matters (Aperture, October 2021.) Held in gallery at ICP’s Lower East Side center against the backdrop of Laub’s exhibition, Laub and Dr. Guralnik will explore the edges of love and tolerance, family, privilege, wealth and mortality.
