The Art of Intimacy: Symposium on Art, Design, and Theory
In Conjunction with the 61st Venice Biennial
◾️What does it mean to be close to something, to someone, to an idea? How does art dare us to bridge the spaces between us, rendering visible the quiet depths of our shared human condition?
◼️In The Art of Intimacy, we invite you to explore the vast, uncharted territories where art, design, and theory converge, illuminating the hidden intimacies that shape our bodies, experiences, memories, and relationships.
◼️Presented partnership with the Liu Shiming Foundation, the European Cultural Center, UNESCO Chair of Water and Human Settlements, and the University of Oregon’s College of Design.
