Draw It with Your Eyes Closed: the Art of the Art Assignment, is a
unique and wide-ranging anthology featuring essays, drawings, and
assignments from over 100 contributors including: John Baldessari,
William Pope.L, Mira Schor, Rochelle Feinstein, Bob Nickas, Chris Kraus,
Liam Gillick, Amy Sillman, James Benning, and Michelle Grabner.
Practical and quixotic in equal parts, the art assignment can resemble a
riddle as much as a recipe, and often sounds more like a haiku, or even
a joke, than a clear directive. From introductory exercises in
perspective drawing to graduate-level experiments in societal
transformation, the assignment coalesces ideas about what art is, how it
should be taught, and what larger purpose it might, or might not,
serve. The book is a written record of an evolving oral tradition.
Bringing together hundreds of assignments, anti-assignments, and
artworks from both teachers and students from a broad range of
institutions, Draw It with Your Eyes Closed serves as an archive and an
instigation, a teaching tool and a question mark, a critique and a
tribute.
