Jamieson Webster on Art, Archaeology, and Psychoanalysis

In conjunction with the current exhibition In the House of the Trembling Eye, the Aspen Art Museum hosts a presentation by psychoanalyst and author Jamieson Webster. Key themes and metaphors underpinning the exhibition—from the volcanic eruption to the flame of desire and the figure of Gradiva—provide a departure point for Webster to address wider connections between art, archaeology and psychoanalysis in the framework of her recent and current work on hysteria, movement and breathing.

Jamieson Webster is a psychoanalyst in New York City, she teaches at The New School School for Social Research, and is a regular contributor to New York Review of Books, New York Times, and many psychoanalytic publications. She is the author most recently of Disorganisation and Sex (Divided, 2022) and the forthcoming On Breathing (Peninsula UK and Catapult US, 2025).

This event is free and open to the public.
Please RSVP to ensure your spot.
