‘Disembodied Intimacy: Digitally Communicating Art, Caregiving, and Sex’ explores the impact of pandemic-induced isolation on the way people interact, from the presentation of art to nurturing the sick to the erotic. Artists, writers, design and digital experts join a panel discussion on the role of digital technology in our lives. With a focus on the body, the talk seeks to underscore the physical relationship between people and things so fundamental to the experience of sculpture.
Presented virtually on October 15, 2020 as part of Nasher Prize Dialogues, the discussion included Emmanuel Van der Auwera, Mika Rottenberg, Alice Rawsthorn, Jacolby Satterwhite, and Randy Kennedy.
The Nasher Prize is the annual international prize for a living artist in recognition of a body of work that has had an extraordinary impact on the understanding of sculpture. The Dialogues are intended to foster international awareness of sculpture and to stimulate discussion and debate. Programs—including panel discussions, lectures, and symposia—are held in cities around the world on a yearly basis, offering engagement with various audiences, and providing myriad perspectives and insight into the ever-expanding field of sculpture.
