Follow that Shit: Michele Feder-Nadoff
Join us at Mess Hall this Sunday, January 8, 3-5pm Michele Feder-Nadoff presents Adolfo Best-Maugard: Método de Dibujo – Tradición, Resurgimiento y Evolución De Arte Mexicano (Method of Drawing – Tradition, Resurgence, and Evolution of Mexican Art): A Preliminary Mapping.
Join us for Michele Feder-Nadoff’s presentation on the work of Adolfo Best- Maugard. “This project will visually disentangle the stitching of the classic book on drawing and design by Adolfo Best Maugard – Método de Dibujo – published originally in Mexico in 1923 and subsequently translated to English and published in New York in 1925. The wall installation is a visual mapping of some of the stories discovered about the politics of aesthetics, innovation, discovery, privilege, marginalization, and appropriation; and the personalities and history binding it all together. These stories are reenacted today in the streets, universities, and museums around the world.
