Love to Party
July 19 - August 23
Opening reception: July 19, 5-8 pm

Taken from a mis-lableled work by Craig Kauffman in the recent Bonhams auction, "Love to Party" is a celebration of naming and misnomers. The original idea arose when an artist referred to one of her pieces as a 'drawing.' The piece in question was one of Michelle Wiener's drawings, painted with white and black gesso on paper. I was interested in why she called it a drawing, not a painting, but in the end I decided I'd rather not really know. Instead, I went to a few of the artists I know and asked them if they had any "drawings" that I could borrow. I don't care what I'd call it, or what you'd call it, all that matters is that the artist referred to it as a 'drawing.' (as in Larry Bell's 1978 Vapor Drawing, for example...)
