Elizabeth Josephson "Drawing II – Adolescent Boys"
FiveMyles
This event has ended.
This exhibition in two parts presents a series of drawings the artist Elizabeth Josephson made, while teaching at the Rikers Island correctional facility. Drawing II is an installation of seven drawings of adolescent inmates. The drawings are projected onto the gallery walls with overhead projectors, rendering the boys life-size and an imposing yet temporal presence in the space.
Drawing II – Adolescent Boys
The second part of this exhibition is an installation of nine drawings of adolescent inmates at the Rikers Island facility. In these drawings the artist has captured the myriad of emotions these young men deal with: despair, sadness, anger and frustration - all clearly shown in the boys faces. The drawings are projected onto the gallery walls with overhead projectors, rendering them life-size. This scale transforms the boys portrayed into an imposing yet temporal presence in the space.
