Open Sessions 7: Hibernating Plan is a group exhibition that considers drawing in relationship to the sense of suspended time inherent in planning. Featuring artists #ShereeHovsepian, #RafaelKelman, #ArnoldKemp, #ThessiaMachado, #SunMoqing, #SaraChangYan, and #TuguldurYondonjamts, the exhibition explores the notion of the “sketch” in relation to the instinct to hibernate, intuit, and mull over. Tuguldur Yondonjamts’ installation for Open Sessions 7 is the beginning of a new and expansive project drawing on ancient mythology from Greece to the Altai mountain region bordering Mongolia, Kazakhstan, Russia and China. According to Greek legend, the dragon Ladon, son of Echidna, was guarding a garden when he was killed by Heracles; where his blood spilled, a Dracaena Cinnabari tree start to grow. Yondonjamts has made a “hibernating suit” in the form of Ladon with the intention of eventually traveling to the region where the myth originated, where he will sleep in it, in an attempt to understand the language of a hidden ancient world. #OpenSessions7 #TuguldurYondonjamts Photo: Tuguldur Yondonjamts’s installation at The Drawing Center.

Open Sessions 7: Hibernating Plan is a group exhibition that considers drawing in relationship to the sense of suspended time inherent in planning. Featuring artists #ShereeHovsepian, #RafaelKelman, #ArnoldKemp, #ThessiaMachado, #SunMoqing, #SaraChangYan, and #TuguldurYondonjamts, the exhibition explores the notion of the "sketch" in relation to the instinct to hibernate, intuit, and mull over. Sara Yan's work charts visible and invisible movements, including those of sound, time, the verticality of a palm tree trunk, water streaming down mountains, temperature, prayer, and sequences of views. In her work, silence is a verb. The work activates the entire field of the paper. Light illuminates and passes through the surface revealing previously unnoticed texture, linear cuts and removed layers of paper. This multitude of gestures explores the potential of emptiness. Yan (b. 1982, Lisbon) lives and works in Lisbon. Her practice is focused on drawing and proposes paper as active field, a potential energy that registers on every surface of the work. A multitude of gestures are in relation, alive: as the viewer or the light moves, the work changes. Her drawings also use silence and sound to create a sequence of moments of differing duration. #OpenSessions #SaraYan Image: Close up of Sara Yan's installation. (at The Drawing Center)

The pigment from this tree, used to make Yondonjamts’s drawings, is today called Dragon’s Blood.
