Sara Schneckloth
September 9 & 10
Participatory Drawing and the Creation of “Tractus."
9/09, 2:00 - 4:30 pm, Lee Gallery
9/10, 9:00 - 4:00 pm, Lee Gallery
Students and all gallery visitors are invited to contribute their unique marks to the 10’ x 10’ drawing. According to Ms. Schneckloth, “One can think of the drawing as a symphonic movement, with each person's unique gestured mark functioning as an instrument with specific tone and timbre. When unified through the assistance of the 'conductor', the hope is for a coherent abstract composition to emerge, with the parts communing to make the whole. By including the signature marks of multiple student artists, the drawing will serve as an accumulation of bodily gestures and additive materials.”
