How can we remake our relationship with monuments? This is the central question of Slow Motion, an ongoing exhibition at Grounds For Sculpture. Slow Motion features five artists — Billy Dufala, Ana Teresa Fernández, Colette Fu, Omar Tate, and Sandy Williams IV — who tinker with material and temporal possibilities for monuments. By experimenting with unconventional materials for public art (wax, waste, paper, food), the artists offer an array of playful and multisensorial commemorative practices that embrace the narrative possibilities of material ephemeralities and the pleasures of slow looking.

To discuss their processes for creating site-specific monuments at Grounds For Sculpture, this roundtable features artists Billy Dufala, Colette Fu, Omar Tate, and Sandy Williams IV, and the director of Grounds For Sculpture, Gary Garrido Schneider. The panel will be moderated by Slow Motion curator and NYU Gallatin professor, Patricia Eunji Kim.

A reception with light bites will follow.
