Our latest catalog “Drawing Papers 138: For Opacity” has been produced with three different covers featuring each artist: Elijah Burgher, Toyin Ojih Odutola, and Nathaniel Mary Quinn. The catalogue includes contributions authored by each artist that respond to Edouard Glissant’s 1990 essay “For Opacity,” the title of which the exhibition is named after. Glissant, a Carribbean theorist, argues that the oppressed-or the historically constructed Other- can and should be allowed to exist as different and unassimilated. He writes: “Agree not merely to the right to different but…agree also to the right to opacity….” In the words of Toyin Ojih Odutola: “Opacity is the right to not explain oneself, to not be pinned down. Not every drawing is an answer to a question.” To read more about these extraordinary artists, please visit drawingcenter.org, under “Bookstore” to purchase the catalog ($20), or to view it in its entirety online for free. .
