 Aruna D’Souza on Winter Term: Torkwase Dyson, our ongoing project which is on view through March 11, every day 12-6pm | Thursdays 12-8pm.
〰️
Excerpts: "While the artist’s own work encompasses painting and sculpture, Dyson has long treated drawing as a foundational medium. For her, it functions as a sort of micro-action, suitable for understanding problems that are so massive,
 systemic, intractable, and global as to exceed our conception—what the philosopher Timothy Morton, a figure who plays a central role in her thinking, calls “hyperobjects.” Our current environmental crisis is foremost among these, as is anti-blackness—the two
 intertwined issues to which the Wynter-Wells project is addressed." 〰️
"The goal seems less about teaching us how to draw and more about showing us that we can draw—that it is an innate skill that we all possess. This is what makes Dyson’s project so interesting,
 to my mind: by offering ideas on how to use that skill to address otherwise insurmountable problems, even in a small way, she allows us to enter the fray as active participants rather than remaining powerless bystanders."-go to http://www.4columns.org for
