Join artist, musician, and composer Stephen Prina for a conversation with chair and curator of Modern and Contemporary Art, Paulina Pobocha, about the lasting influence of architect Bruce Goff on his work. Their conversation will be followed by a special screening of Prina’s film THE WAY HE ALWAYS WANTED IT II.

THE WAY HE ALWAYS WANTED IT II (2008) is a 35mm film shot at the Ruth and Sam Ford House, a Bruce Goff-designed home in Aurora, Illinois, with a musical score derived from fragments of music written by Goff before he abandoned music composition at the age of 30.

This program is made possible by the Frank J. Mooney Memorial Fund.
