Via ObserverArts: Talk: “Conversation: Prix Canson” at the Drawing Center

The Prix Canson, a drawing prize awarded by the 500-year old French paper company Canson, named Njideka Akunyili Crosby this year’s award winner, but luckily, we also get to hear this talk from one of the other finalists: Ruby Onyinyechi Amanze. Amanda Hunt, the Assistant Curator at The Studio Museum in Harlem and one of this year’s jurors, will sit down with the Nigerian artist to discuss her large-scale drawings of cross-cultural exploration. The artist, who is currently an Artist-in-Residence at the Queens Museum, plays with undefined, nonlinear space in her aliens, hybrids and ghosts series as a way to tell a richer story through her art.
