ESSAY: James Lumsden - Reflex

March 6, 2015 - Freya Cooper Kiddle

BOOK RELEASE: James Drake:1242

February 10, 2015 - Kathryn Kanjo and David Krakauer

Published by Radius BooksHardcover, 15.5 x 12.5 in. / 320 pgs / 1,280 color.

Three years ago, James Drake began the ambitious project of creating 1,242 drawings that would trace and reference all of the developments of his multifaceted career. Known as both a sculptor and video artist, Drake has always considered draftsmanship to be a key to his process, and this body of drawings does not disappoint. It is both a fascinating tour of Drake's creative thinking and a testament to the simple power of graphite and ink on paper in the hands of a master of the craft. The volume accompanied the exhibition, The Anatomy of Drawing and Space, at The Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego and The Blanton Mueum of Art in Austin.
