She will be discussing the Drawing Center’s evolving mission as an institution dedicated to drawing, a medium that is itself constantly evolving and expanding into unexpected formats and disciplines; examining its recent exhibition history with a particular focus on shows that have sought to look outside familiar definitions of the medium and to engage with alternative disciplines like performance, illustration, food, photography and literature.
