Gary Simmons: Ghost Reels is on view Wed-Sun 12-6pm | Thurs 12-8pm #Repost susanyork.studio ・・・ The Drawing Center drawingcenter continues its commissioning of powerful works with Gary Simmons' "Ghost Reels". Simmons drew the names of African American actors and actresses from the early days of silent film with oil stick in the center's stairwell. The artist wanted to invoke "the memories of actors that have been blurred in the history of Hollywood film . . . a kind of silence in both voice and visibility.” #garysimmons #thedrawingcenter #africanamericanactors #drawing #oilstick #silentfilm #ghostreels #brettlittman #drawingcenter #drawingcenter2016
