In Dialogue: The Guggenheim Collection | Ian Cheng

Описание: In the first season of the Guggenheim New York’s "In Dialogue" video series, curators sit down with artists to discuss an artwork that has recently entered the museum’s collection. Each conversation, in its own way, highlights the notion of mutual care—exploring the increasingly urgent role contemporary art can play in bringing people together in the face of environmental, economic, social, and technological systems that radically impact our lives. This season features discussions with artists Rose B. Simpson, Ian Cheng, Firelei Báez, Guadalupe Maravilla, and Steffani Jemison.

In this episode filmed at The Wright restaurant, located within the iconic Guggenheim New York, contemporary artist Ian Cheng discusses the artwork “BOB (Bag of Beliefs)” (2018–19) with curator Noam Segal. Explore the insights and inspirations behind this innovative piece, which has an infinite duration and delves into live simulation, sound, and artificial intelligence.
