STORY/lines: Narrative in Drawing / Schmerler, Sarah; Wilner M., 2007

 Item
Identifier: CC-46319-49042
Scope and Contents

Sarah Schmerler writes about this exhibition, "Martin Wilner's series "Making History" (monthly calendar drawings started in 2002) combines disparate, often disturbing images lifted from current events - George Bush's distorted face, men in surgical masks - with snippets of ephemera like sheet music, making visual sense of a world gone chaotically awry...it's the raw and honest approach to drawing shared by Gabel and Wilner that mades the ferry trip worthwhile." The Sackner Archive holds three of the monthly calendar drawings. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
