DRUM CIRCLE

Various drawings, single-channel video

2015-2016

DRUM CIRCLE is one of the results of a 2-year project called Studio Pictures led by Maruice Carlin, a commission from The Drawing Center, New York exploring the complexities of a remote online working group of artists Anne Gilman, Ethan Hayes-Chute, Annette Knol, Elizabeth Leister and Michael Namkung.

Repurposing the video conferencing platform ‘Google Hangouts’, 6 international artists were brought together remotely from their studios for online group drawing sessions. Approaches such as drawing games, responding to sound/rhythm and text were used to explore if or how synchronicity could be achieved across time / geographical distance, and without knowing each other personally. Collaboration with Anne Gilman, Ethan Hayes-Chute, Annette Knol, Elizabeth Leister and Michael Namkung.

Exhibited at Adaptation, O Cinema, Curated by José Garza and Holly McGraw, The Transversal Project; and Open Sessions 4, The Drawing Center, New York City, NY, Curated by Lisa Sigal and Nova Benway.
