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, artist Firelei Báez discusses the artwork “Untitled (United States Marine Hospital)” (2019) with curator Katherine Brinson. Discover the ideas and inspirations behind this artwork, which combines flowing calligraphic designs with a government-commissioned architectural plan for the United States Marine Hospital in New Orleans.
