Anne Wilson: The MAD Drawing Room and Errant Behaviors (solo exhibition)
Museum of Arts and Design, New York, New York
April 20, 2024 – May 11, 2025
Errant Behaviors is a 2-screen video and sound installation which proposes surreal implications and intersections between textiles, moving image, and sound. In the adjacent gallery, the MAD Drawing Room is composed of 8 study tables of Wilson’s lace and openwork fragments, source materials from which the Errant Behaviors animations were created. The MAD Drawing Room also includes Shawn Decker’s sound sources, a library for reading and research, and an opportunity for visitors to slow down to look closely and listen, and to respond through drawing and writing.
