Working (it) Out Ep 8 Nicole Miller: Conducting Subjectivity

Working (it) Out

Working (it) Out 8 Nicole Miller: Conducting Subjectivity I met this week with video and installation artist Nicole Miller. Miller and I discuss her year and a half residency with LACMA’s Redland’s Art + Film Lab and commission to create a project in collaboration with community contributors from neighborhoods around Los Angeles, as well as her recent show at Koenig and Clinton in New York. Miller considers audience from the conception stage of her projects, and for this artist, the audience completes the work. We delve into the therapeutic effects woven into her practice, and her desires to evoke a bodily and empathic response from her viewers.
