The discussion will address the evolution of Halilaj’s practice, its impact on the field of sculpture, and the role art plays in allowing people to envision and embrace a better world together.
The conversation will be followed by a party in the garden celebrating the first-ever public conferral of the Nasher Prize, marking the occasion through a gathering that comes directly after the discussion.
The celebration is described as a free evening inspired by Halilaj and his practice, with art, music, dancing, and food forming its elements.
The evening will also feature a new version of a work created for the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s 2024 Roof Garden Commission, presented as part of Halilaj’s ‘Abetare’ series and installed in the Nasher garden for the celebration.
