My Best Friend: Vladan Nikolic and Eric Werthman
510 66 West 12th Street, 5th floor
Friendship and hospitality frame a series of conversations this spring at the Vera List Center for Art and Politics in collaboration with the Bachelor’s Program at The New School for General Studies. Each evening features a faculty member from The New School who introduces their best friend—a prominent figure outside of The New School, and coming from a field different from the one of the host. Friendship and hospitality serve as more than framing devices: they are engaged in a variety of ways, and each pair is free to choose their approach in elaborating on the story of their friendship. The evening has a strong social element. The audience is invited to mix, eat, and drink—gestures of hospitality are extended to all present.
Participants Filmmaker Vladan Nikolic, Associate Professor, Director of Undergraduate Studies, Film and Media Studies, The New School, and Director and Producer (Surla Films), will host Eric Werthman, psychotherapist and director of Going Under (2004).
