This will be the starting point for a conversation between Haacke and art critic Irving Sandler, who will consider the influence of the artist's early systems works in relation to the Pavilion and later projects.
Organized in collaboration with the New Museum as part of a series of conversations on landmark exhibitions in 1993.
