Danish artist Nina Beier and RIA curator Ned McConnell talk in depth about her research, sculptural and performance practice.

Live is a series of online conversations, co-hosted by us and Performance Exchange in 2020. The webcast talks feature artists, curators and other cultural practitioners engaged in live work.

As organisations both being dedicated to performance and event-based art practices, this collaboration is born from the need to keep supporting these practices, perhaps now more urgently than ever. In creating this platform together, we want to share artistic projects and ideas with our audiences, whilst thinking through different cultural infrastructure that works for performance in times of social isolation.
