The Drawing Center and Look + Listen will co-present a special musical performance inspired by the artwork on view in Terry Winters: Facts and Fictions, The evening will be hosted by WQXR radio personality, Terrance McKnight and will feature musicians Ingrid Laubrock on (saxophone) and Joel Ross (vibraphone).

The Look + Listen Festival celebrates contemporary classical music by presenting it in compelling visual art settings. Each concert offers a chance to hear a diverse group of performers and playing pieces by some of today’s finest composers.

Please note that there are two times for this performance, 6:00 pm and 7:30 pm.

A leading figure in the art world for four decades, Terry Winters became well known in the 1980s for his materially-conscious drawings and paintings. Representing the patterns and schema that undergird physical and intellectual life—French philosopher Gilles Deleuze is cited as an important reference—Winters’s drawings of grids, networks, and knots illustrate complex encounters between biological drives, technological systems, and mental processes. The Drawing Center’s Main Gallery will present an overview of Winters’s drawings from 1980 to the present including full cycles of drawings as well as a selection of large-scale works on paper that foreground the overarching theme of Winters’s practice: the desire to make sense, however fictively, of the manner in which the visible world is constructed and received. Rather than offering a comprehensive drawing retrospective, the show will be organized with an eye to morphological relationships so that, as viewers move through the gallery, they will recall and ideally return to earlier related images.

Organized by Claire Gilman, Chief Curator.
