In June, special guests will join the exhibitions' curators for discussions that explore the revelatory works and creative processes of the two artists.
On June 18, André Leon Talley, Contributing Editor of Vogue, will be in conversation with Andrew Bolton, Curator in Charge of The Costume Institute. They will discuss the work of Rei Kawakubo as well as the curation, design, and major themes of the exhibition, Rei Kawakubo/Comme des Garçons: Art of the In-Between.
