Live Transmissions: New Yorkers ReadingSeptember 8–December 19, 2012Art Wall on Third

This drawing exhibition tracks, in real time, the vital movement of living beings. Artist Morgan O’Hara spent hours in New York City public venues, including NYPL, observing and drawing the subtle movements people make as they read. Drawing with multiple razor-sharp pencils and both hands, O’Hara condenses movement into multiple graphite lines, which combine the controlled refinement of classical drawing with the unbound sensuality of spontaneous gesture.

Sat., Sept. 22 at 2:30 p.m.An Artist DialogueArtist and critic Stephen Maine joins Morgan O’Hara to discuss how Live Transmissions tracks movement in real time by compressing into a single image a record of prolonged activity.
