DESCRIPTION:March 16 - May 13, 2017: Tuesday - Friday 10am to 6pm; Saturday 
 10am-5pm\n\nA dynamic and relational dialogue among 17 contemporary women 
 artists who are engaged in processes of describing and re-describing the 
 world through drawing. These artists represent diverse backgrounds, 
 generations and each makes her art in a different way. What connects them 
 is the centrality of drawing to their creative practices and as a means of 
 exploring aesthetic, social, cultural and political concerns. In honor of 
 Women's History Month curated by Natasha Becker, the exhibition features 
 Damali Abrams, ruby onyinyechi amanze, Amy Cutler, Donna Dennis, Torkwase 
 Dyson, Anna Gudmundsdottir, Kenyatta A.C. Hinkle, Rosemary Mayer, Toyin 
 Ojih Odutola, Ebony G. Patterson, Adrian Piper, Tracey Rose, Alison Saar, 
 Simone Shubuck, Shinique Smith, Samantha Vernon, and Saya 
 Woolfalk.\n\nReunited are three participants in the New York art scene in 
 the 1970s: Adrian Piper, Donna Dennis, and Rosemary Mayer. Adrian Piper 
 embodies creative multidisciplinary expressions of self, encouraged by 
 cross-culturation and globalization. She was awarded the Golden Lion Award 
 for Best Artist at the 56th Venice Biennale. In 2018 she will have a 
 retrospective at MoMA. Donna Dennis uses concrete structures, drawing on 
 language and architecture to symbolically explore themes of birth, death 
 and rebirth. Rosemary Mayer, Tracey Rose, and Shinique Smith illuminate 
 drawing as performance with line and gesture as an individual script 
 running through everything they make. Smith is included in "Four 
 Generations: The Joyner / Giuffrida Collection of Abstract Art".\n\nAmy 
 Cutler employs the power of narrative, the media, popular culture, 
 fairytales, and her own experiences to investigate women's work and the 
 complex live of women in her enigmatic drawings. Saya Woolfalk and ruby 
 onyinyechi amanze create aliens, hybrids, and ghosts defy traditional 
 structures of space and narrative, existing instead in a magical world of 
 alternative realties, memories, and make believe.  \n \nAbout Jenkins
