Kim Hastreiter, cofounder of PAPER magazine, comes to the Walker to present and sign her newest book STUFF: A New York Life of Cultural Chaos. Chronicling a 50-year slice of New York City’s arts history and the people who defined it, STUFF uses Hastreiter’s singular edit of art, fashion, design, photography, books, and ephemera as a lens. Her book eschews a traditional memoir in favor of a loopy, joyous, and extraordinary ride through the past half century of cultural chaos in one of the greatest cities on earth.
Bio
Kim Hastreiter is an artist, writer, editor, curator, and cultural anthropologist. Born and raised in New Jersey, she attended the California Institute of the Arts, where she was mentored by artist John Baldessari. After college, she moved to New York City to be an artist and has lived and worked there ever since. In 1984 she launched the legendary PAPER magazine with her friend David Hershkovits, which they sold in 2017. Hastreiter continues to document culture voraciously, and her work includes publishing a series of “Memezeens” that track the radical viral art of the meme; writing a weekly Substack newsletter about the past, present, and future; bringing big creative ideas to life; writing two more books; and curating shows of meaningful artists.
