Nasher Prize Dialogues: Public Figures explores publicly sited figurative sculpture at a time when both public art and the role of figurative monuments are particularly charged in cultural discourse. Artists Tania Bruguera, Hans Haacke, and Fred Wilson will discuss various critical approaches to these topics, including how their practices interrogate, or antagonize, the history and tradition of celebratory sculpture and representations of the human body within public space and institutions. This talk will be moderated by Massimiliano Gioni, Edlis Neeson Artistic Director of the New Museum.
This is an in-person, ticketed event taking place at the New Museum in New York City and will be livestreamed for those unable to attend in person. The event starts at 6 p.m. (CDT), 7 p.m. (EDT).
