Louise Bourgeois Exhibit and DJ Alex Moulton at FIRST FRIDAYS at the GUGGENHEIM
In a hyper-accelerated, technology-driven world where short attention spans and sounds bites seem the norm, the full-on musical experience of DJ Alex Moulton is not to be missed. Moulton promises an unforgettable acoustic storyline going beyond synth-pop prog-rock to pure, funky dance floor fun.



Louise Bourgeois (born in Paris, December 25, 1911) is an artist and sculptor. Her parents repaired tapestries. At 12, she started helping them draw the missing segments of the tapestries. At 15 she studied mathematics at the Sorbonne. Her studies of geometry contributed to her early cubist drawings. Still searching, she began painting, studying at the École du Louvre and then the École des Beaux-Arts, and worked as an assistant to Fernand Léger. In 1938 she moved with her American husband, Robert Goldwater, to New York City to continue her studies at the Art Students League of New York, feeling that she would not have stayed an artist had she continued to live in Paris. [1]
She lives and works in New York City.
