Artist and Bard alum Carolyn Lazard ’10 has proven to be an influential and emboldening force for chronically ill and disabled artists. “Connecting the sick and the well through real-time video, Extended Stay [Lazard's 2019 Whitney Biennial installation] speaks to how sick and disabled people have already long practiced many of the new norms that arose in the year 2020, and will continue to do so for years to come,” writes Emily Watlington in Art in America.
