Freud's Office

The curators have invited 19 artists to produce work in response to the artifacts, objects or histories found in Freud’s office and memorably photographed by Edmund Engelman days before Freud fled Nazi occupied Austria. The artists’ responses are based upon their knowledge or experience of the history and practice of psychoanalysis. Using a variety of media artists have riffed upon iconic features ranging from Freud’s couch to the print of Charcot that hung above said couch. Fragments of the architecture, pieces of Freud’s antiquities collection, even the urn in which Freud’s ashes now repose have found their way to Long Island University’s Humanities Gallery. The show opens on Sunday May 6^th, Freud’s 156^thbirthday.
