In celebration of the publication of Drawing Sculpture (Soberscove, 2026), a book of images of recent drawings of sculptures by Carroll Dunham, Corbett vs. Dempsey is delighted to present an afternoon conversation between Dunham and John Corbett, with a specific focus on the book's unusual subject matter.

As the book jacket explains: "In Drawing Sculpture, we see Carroll Dunham thinking about sculpture over the course of a year. Spurred by curiosity about the forms that he found himself doodling along the edges of a new group of paintings in 2023, Dunham began drawing fantasies of sculpture as a break from working on the paintings. The eighty drawings collected here offer intimate access to an artist's process, tracing the emergence of a sculptural vocabulary as they explore spatial relationships, materials, and presentation for sculptures that don't exist."

Carroll Dunham is an internationally renowned artist, acclaimed as a painter and drawer of exceptional imagination and power. At the end of January, his survey exhibition Carroll Dunham: Drawings 1974-2024 will open at the Art Institute of Chicago. Copies of Drawing Sculpture will be available at the event.

The event is scheduled for Saturday, January 24 at 3pm, and it is free and open to the public.

It will be held at 2156 West Fulton St., Chicago, IL 60622.
