The speakers will discuss the use of intimacy and space in Naked, lending their unique curatorial perspectives and individual knowledge of Eiko & Koma’s work.

“Eiko & Koma lie sometimes intertwined, sometimes separate, but always together. All conventional storytelling is absent; what is left is time and presence. The scene is one of aftermath from some unspecified but lingering trauma. Naked is not so much a performance as a meditation and exchange.”
—Bartholomew Ryan, Walker Art Center Curator
