Working it: Artists including Donna Huanca and Antony Gormley debate the performative body

How can one work with the body – one’s own, and other people’s? In this panel discussion moderated by National Gallery Singapore’s curator Qinyi Lim, artists use the lens of performance to discuss how they approach the human figure.
