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 Steffani Jemison discusses the artwork “In Succession” (2019) with curator Nat Trotman. Discover the inspiration behind this work of video art and learn about how Jemison invited four actors to participate in a series of workshops centered on trust-building and improvisational movement. “In Succession” illustrates how a choreography of mutual support and precarity can capture moments of stillness by combining equal yet opposite physical forces.
