In Conversation with Melati Suryodarmo: Performance, the body, and the screen
02.11.2021
About the Program
Coinciding with the final weeks of her major museum survey exhibition, Melati Suryodarmo is joined by director, Aaron Seeto for a discussion about this major milestone, the impact of the ongoing COVID-19 disruptions and what has been learnt in the process.
Of particular interest is Melati’s desire to retain an embodied presence throughout the exhibition, and avoiding shifting programs online and on to digital platforms when so much conversation has been invested in digital connectivity, how do artists imagine a future for physical programming?
Artist Talk Moderated by Aaron Seeto, Director of Museum MACAN. Tuesday, 2 November 2021 at 3 – 5 PM (GMT+7)
