Read The Brooklyn Rail's Allie Biswas interview with artist Rashid Johnson. His "Anxioux Men" installation is on view through December 20! (Go to brooklynrail.org) 
Excerpt:
Rail: What made you want to return to drawing? 
Johnson: It really came from the urgency to get something out of me quickly. The high-paced mark-making that is in each drawing was my way of doing that. Drawing became the vehicle that I thought most clearly showed the pace at which my body and my brain was moving. 
Rail: Is it the most visceral medium for you? 
Johnson: I think so. It’s something that is so immediate. It can happen so quickly, and it’s not thought through. It’s not static or deliberate. The context for it is the way that you move, and the way that your body reacts to the materials.
