Talk Back is the newsletter of the Dara Birnbaum Foundation. Published regularly, it features news of exhibitions, screenings, presentations, publications, and other platforms in which Birnbaum’s work is being shown and discussed around the world. Each issue also features a newly commissioned essay engaging with Birnbaum’s work and the artistic, cultural, and intellectual questions her practice continues to raise.

For this inaugural issue, we are delighted to feature a thought-provoking essay by Piper Marshall, curator, writer, and professor at Barnard College, whose contribution, “Liberty: A Dozen or So Views” offers a compelling perspective on Birnbaum’s 1976 work produced the year of the nation’s Bicentennial and revisited on its 50th anniversary.
