Please note this online workshop, hosted by teaching artists Joyce Hom and Nic Annette Miller will be in ASL with no voice interpretation. It is free and open to the signing community.
Join us on Thursday, April 10, for an online drawing workshop presented in American Sign Language (ASL) and inspired by our current exhibitions John Zorn: Hermetic Cartography and Ericka Beckman: Power of the Spin.
Hermetic Cartography includes a diverse array of New York musician John 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 filmmaker Ericka Beckman’s drawings, ranging from sketches and storyboards to large-scale finished compositions created at different moments throughout her career. These drawings are accompanied by the continuous screening of two new films by Beckman in the lower-level gallery.
