Len Lye: Motion Sketch
Len Lye: Motion Sketch includes a selection of paintings, drawings, and photograms, never before seen in the United States. These will be presented alongside ephemera, drawings, and written texts annotated with doodles, book covers, and film strip samples that demonstrate Lye’s filmmaking techniques.
In The Drawing Center’s Lab gallery, an extensive film program will be presented on video, including such landmark films as Tusalava, 1929; A Colour Box, 1935; and Free Radicals, 1957/1979.
