York's "Foundation" is at The Drawing Center in NYC

October 11th, 2017

For the second long-term installation presented in the Lab Corridor, The Drawing Center  presents a site-specific installation by the Santa Fe-based artist Susan York (Ceramics ’95), which references the internal structure of the museum’s 35 Wooster Street building. The exhibition, Foundationuses graphite as a sculptural rather than a two-dimensional medium, York created replicas of parts of the museum’s foundation: irregular granite piers that protrude above the museum’s ground floor. Four graphite drawings, each mirroring the appearance of a pier, hang alongside York’s sculptural works, strengthening the ties between drawing and sculpture in her practice. Join the artist on a walk through of the exhibition on Thursday, October 19 at 6:30pm.
