Re:depiction | Asian Art Museum’s $10 Thursday Nights (SF)

For Re:depiction, San Francisco artist collaborative Hughen/Starkweather (Jennifer Starkweather and Amanda Hughen) interviewed several museum staff members about an artwork of their choice from the Asian Art Museum’s collection and describe the work from memory.

The artists then created an abstract work on paper based on the description. On the night of the event, the Hughen/Starkweather depiction will be shown in the museum alongside the original artworks described by each staff member and sound pieces excerpted from the interviews.

The Artists Drawing Club is an interdisciplinary public program series that invites local contemporary artists to use the museum as a platform, drawing inspiration from the permanent collection, rotating special exhibitions, the building, and the neighborhood, and leveraging their artistic practices to realize a new artist-driven project in which exchange, experience, and interaction are paramount.
