In The Box: Brian Bress Man With a Cigarette

September 15 - Feb 19, 2017 - The exhibition began with a pen-and-ink drawing found in a thrift store. It depicted a man wearing a fedora and a jacket with wide lapels. The unknown artist used an array of techniques from hatch marks and ragged shading to pointillistic dots and checkerboard patterns. Bress said it seemed as if "the drawing was an artist's love letter to drawing." In this projected video, Bress recreates the man in the drawing as a life-sized sculptural costume.
