Embodiment Session: Figure Drawing with Alex Schmidt

May 25, 2022 - May 25, 2022

Performer Alex Schmidt (née Body Confidence) responds to exhibitions Not Me, Not That, Not Nothing Either (on view through June 24, 2022) and Lorenza Böttner: Requiem for the Norm (on view through August 14, 2022) with an evening of life drawing. Channeling the works on view, Schmidt invites participants to join them in "reinterpreting existing cultural images" by creating a community-generated wealth of figure drawings. Materials will be provided; you are also welcome to bring your own (however paint, charcoal, and chalk pastels are not permitted.)
