Read about our new exhibition - Rashid Johnson: Anxious Men on
Observer.com. Then come see the work at The Drawing Center.
Wed-Sun 12-6pm | Thur 12-8pm
Excerpt:"[...] Mr. Johnson weaves the milestones of his own life into the mix, touching on fatherhood as well. "Anxious Men" features drawings, prints, a photo installation and sound work.
The drawings displayed here are the first figurative images he’s produced outside of his work in photography and film.
Instead of canvas or paper, he uses white tile. Instead of ink or paint, he uses wax and black soap. Instead of a white wall, a self-portrait of his father taken the year Mr. Johnson was born is hung over and over again, wallpapering the space floor-to-ceiling. And rather than filling the gallery simply with art, the space is shared with a giant palm and a cactus."
