Open Sessions Artist 2018-20: Sharon Madanes on the Creative Block and Process . “When I’m feeling uninspired in the studio, I head to the Met. Standing in front of objects that were made through the ages fills me with energy. It reminds me of the inexplicable need to make things, to draw attention to and contribute to the visual vocabulary of the universe.” - Sharon Madanes . Sharon Madanes lives and works in New York. Her work has been shown at The Dot Project, London; Next to Nothing Gallery, New York; Vox Populi, Philadelphia. . 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. . #OpenSessionsTDC #SharonMadanes sharonbrenda rsoairo lisasigal . #creativeblock #creativeprocess #draw #contribute #legs .
