Brett Littman, Executive Director of The Drawing Center, will present a lecture entitled "From Lascaux Caves to Autocad." A wide range of issues will be explored, including: What is the relevance of drawing in contemporary culture? How does one define the activity of drawing today? What does it mean to expand the definition of drawing to encompass architecture, design, music, science, dance? This talk will highlight the curatorial decisions that have shaped the Drawing Center’s upcoming programming.
Established in 1977, The Drawing Center is the only fine arts institution in the United States to focus solely on the exhibition of drawings. Its programmatic philosophy is investigative in nature and promotes a multi-faceted understanding of drawing through exhibitions, publications, educational and public programs, and the Viewing Program for emerging artists. The Drawing Center is located at 35 Wooster Street in New York City.
