Web-site-specific Sculpture: Juliana Cerqueira Leite in conversation with Nadim Samman

 

The Last Museum features artworks that straddle both real and virtual domains. The exhibition reflects the strangeness of our contemporary spatial and geographical imaginary. In this talk, artist Juliana Cerqueira Leite (Brasil/USA) reflects on productive blurring between physical original, digital doppelganger, and the stakes of sculpture online.
