As part of its ongoing series of commissions for the Stairwell, The Drawing Center in New York has invited artist Inka Essenhigh to create a site-specific wall drawing. For this panoramic installation, Essenhigh will illustrate the story of an imaginary contest staged on a New York City street in which new glass-and-steel condominiums with human attributes engage in a showdown with the city’s more conventional buildings. Drawn directly on the wall, Essenhigh’s anthropomorphic buildings will encircle the central motif of the drawing, a golden sunset that replicates ‘Manhattanhenge’— the effect of the sun when aligned precisely with the city grid — which has long been a mythic part of the city’s monumental architecture. From 6 April 2018.⠀
