As part of “Open Sessions 2018–2020: What’s Love Got to Do with It?” (on-view through Sept 15) we asked each of our artists-in-residence: “What’s Love Got to Do with It?” Open Sessions artist 2018-20 Liz Collins responds below:
.
This piece is a collection of fervent marks made by over 60 people gathered together for the love of drawing, of the Drawing Center, of community and of collective creative labor, fused together to make one long scroll, which I then pulled together through my own fields of black (female) marks. Within the piece are the marks of many of the Open Sessions cohort, so the drawing holds our group. And the piece holds marks of many friends, and others who trusted this event to give them something. Why would I do an event like this? My love of Boetti, his works, and his approaches to making, and my love of collective activity- when people come together to make something selflessly, with enthusiasm and joy in the interest of connection, community, and creativity- this is complete love.
.
Liz Collins lives and works in New York. Her work has been shown at the ICA/Boston; the New Museum, New York; the Museum of Arts and Design, New York.
.
Open Sessions is a two-year program which provides opportunities for selected artists to contextualize work and ideas through exhibitions, public programs, and critical dialogue, organized by Rosario Güiraldes and Lisa Sigal, Open Sessions Curators.
