Kempthorn will present “Like learning a handstand” during the Kershaw Lecture, in which she will share the recent trajectory of her drawing practice; as it was impacted by the creation of the animation and in her new work, which will make up the accompanying exhibition Sweet Monotony, on view February 19th - March 14th in the Sally Otto Gallery.
