Curatorial Walkthrough with Jarrett Earnest

Join us for an in-person walkthrough of the current iteration of Ways of Seeing: Three Takes on the Jack Shear Drawing Collection, led by critic and curator Jarrett Earnest.

For the present iteration, Earnest takes the fundamentals of drawing as his starting point, organizing his installation around two drawings: one by Henri Michaux and the other by Vija Celmins. Beginning with Michaux, we follow a path of drawings along the south wall, moving from openness to precision. Beginning with Celmins, we journey along the north wall from clarity and containment to the dissolution of the mark into the surface. In the rear gallery, color is the guiding principle. The result is a dynamic, fluid space that visualizes the idea that works of art are always impacted by the context in which they are seen and received.

Please note that masks and proof of vaccination are required in order to attend this event. Due to the current health crisis capacity is limited.
