Opening Reception: 3 Exhibits, From Drawings to Manuscripts to Scores

Filling the Drawing Center’s main gallery, Drawing Time, Reading Time features an international group of artists spanning the 1960s to today, all of whom are engaged in exploring the relationship between drawing and writing as distinct yet interrelated phenomenological gestures.

Presented in the Drawing Room, Dickinson/Walser brings together Emily Dickinson’s original poem manuscripts and Robert Walser’s microscripts for the first time as a fitting corollary to Drawing Time, Reading Time, on view in the Main Gallery.

In the Lab, William Engelen: Falten presents a new series of musical scores for percussion made from folded paper. In performing Falten, musicians “walk” through this architectural landscape, using the paper’s planes, heights, and structures as parameters for qualities in volume, pitch, rhythm, tension, character, and the spatiality of sound. Falten for Percussion consists of eight parts, and will be debuted by the celebrated percussion ensemble Talujon during the opening.
