Today we are beginning to install "Rashid Johnson: Anxious Men". Johnson is creating a site-specific installation in our Drawing Room gallery. The core of the exhibition is a new series of black-soap-and-wax-on-tile portraits that Johnson calls his “anxious men.” The portraits will be set within a multi-sensory environment that includes wallpaper featuring a photograph of the artist’s father from the year Johnson was born [in photo], and an audio sound track comprised of Melvin Van Peebles’s “Love, That’s America,” a song that originally appeared in Peebles’s 1970 film Watermelon Man. Join us for the opening of our fall exhibits - Richard Pousette-Dart 1930s; Rashid Johnson: Anxious Men; and Open Sessions 5. Details on drawingcenter.org. Evening Opening is Thursday, October 1, 6-8pm No RSVP needed. #Opening #RashidJohnson #AnxiousMen #RichardPousetteDart #OpenSessions Photo: Installation of wall paper in "Rashid Johnson: Anxious Men".
