Embodiment Session: Figure Drawing with Alex Schmidt
Event Information
About this event
Performer Alex Schmidt (née Body Confidence) responds to OMNISCIENT: Queer Documentation in an Image Culture (on view through January 2, 2022) with an evening of life drawing. Channeling both the works on view as well as queer iconography and icons such as Barbara Hammer, Lisa Lyon, kink culture, the US Women's Soccer team, and more, Schmidt invites participants (AKA you!) 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)
FREE and open to the public. RSVP required.
Proof of vaccination is required and masks must be worn at all times.
Space is limited, so please arrive promptly to secure your spot.
