“For Opacity: Elijah Burgher, Toyin Ojih Odutola, and Nathaniel Mary Quinn” is on view in our Main Gallery. Wed-Sun 12-6pm | Thur 12-8pm “When I draw a particular person, I attempt to make a faithful representation, to capture a likeness. I find the latter expression funny—funny in the sense of warranting suspicion rather than causing amusement. The second listed definition of “capture” in the Oxford Dictionary is to “record accurately in words or pictures,” but the first one lends the aforementioned expression a foreboding undertone: to “take into one’s possession or control by force.”1 It’s as if, in capturing a likeness, one wrested a person’s appearance away from them, stripped a layer of it off them, perhaps robbed them of some of their power or essence.”-Elijah Burgher in his exhibition catalog essay Via rcembalest ・・・ Intricate portrait of artist #GordonHall in color pencil: “Gordon,” 2015, by beast4thee in #ForOpacity drawingcenter #ElijahBurgher
