Ilana Savdie and Carmen Maria Machado on trickery, horror, and the uncanny
<p>On the occasion of her Whitney exhibition and as part of the Whitney’s public programming, artist Ilana Savdie invited writer Carmen Maria Machado, author of <em>Her Body and Other Parties</em> and<em> In the Dream House</em>, to discuss their respective practices. In this excerpt from that program Savdie and Machado discuss their overlapping interests, from power dynamics mediated through the body to trickery as a form of resistance. The conversation is moderated by Whitney Curator Marcela Guerrero and the exhibition <em>Ilana Savdie: Radical Contractions</em> is on view through November 5, 2023.</p>
