Susan York: Foundation

Exhibition Website

Oct 13 2017 - Feb 3 2019

The Drawing Center

New York City, NY

For the second long-term installation presented in The Drawing Center’s Lab Corridor, Santa Fe-based artist Susan York will create a site-specific installation that references the internal structure of the museum’s 35 Wooster Street building. Using graphite as a sculptural rather than a two-dimensional medium, York will create replicas of parts of the museum’s foundation: eroded concrete piers that protrude above the museum’s ground floor. York’s long-term installation will initiate an expanded field of activity at The Drawing Center, pointing to new opportunities for exploring drawing as an interactive and socially-minded practice. Additionally, by bringing attention to The Drawing Center’s building, York’s installation will generate opportunities for discussion about the importance of museums continuing as public spaces with permanent, physical presence.
