Drawings and 2 films by Wayne Kostenbaum. We will have an extra special opening and talk with Wayne July 24th from 7-9pm. Cornelius F Von Stafrin lll will perform filling the talk.
Drawing is an extension of dreaming: I draw in order to remain maximally awake to the slumbrous frequencies of sight. I draw what I see around me but also I draw upon internal, imagined shapes. Making a line on a page or a canvas exercises my freedom to conjure, to render, to demarcate, to caress. I draw animate creatures and motionless objects, angles and eruptions, events and arrangements, families and the unfamiliar, the wrecked and the whole. The page/canvas is my cream, my foundation, upon which I evolve creation myths, stories of haphazard survival. To continue, unmarred, in the context of storm, is my method’s bedrock rationale.
