ASL DrawNow! IN PERSON at The Drawing Center
Join Joyce Hom and Nic Annette Miller in-person for a drawing workshop presented in American Sign Language (ASL) and inspired by our current exhibition John Zorn: Hermetic Cartography and Ericka Beckman: Power of the Spin. Hermetic Cartography includes a diverse array of Zorn’s visual artworks, graphic scores, dense philosophical notations, abstract poetry and artist books, and not only highlights Zorn’s radical approach to marks on paper but also his unique Theatre of Musical Optics and other experimental projects. By exploring these visual elements, the exhibition provides a new perspective on how Zorn's abstract works intersect with and inform his musical compositions. Power of the Spin features more than twenty of Beckman's drawings, ranging from sketches and storyboards to large-scale finished compositions created at different moments throughout her career, in addition to two new films in the lower-level gallery. Distinct from many artists working in the medium of film, Beckman takes an emphatically handmade approach to her work, making her own props and sets, as well as elaborate preparatory drawings. Her practice deals with gameplay and systems, often adopting and subverting classic tropes like fairytales to challenge societal norms.
