Linn Meyers (American, b. Washington, D.C., 1968; lives and works in Washington, D.C.) created her largest work, “Our View From Here,” at the Smithsonian's Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, on view May 12, 2016May 14, 2017.
This time-lapse highlights the process behind the site-specific wall drawing, which stretches the entire circumference of the inner-circle galleries on the museum's second level, more than 400 linear feet. Meyers creates her works by hand-drawing thousands of closely spaced, rippling lines, each nested beside the one that came before it. Drawing alone for long hours each day with a type of marker often used by graffiti writers, she welcomes the imperfections that are a natural part of working without templates or taped lines. The resulting patterns flow and pulse with energy.

Window card for SUNRISE (F.W. Murnau, USA, 1927)
Designer: uncredited
Poster source: Silent Film Chronicle
Playing today in a double bill with Murnau's Nosferatu at New York's Film Forum.
“Consider that when the average theatrical run of a film was three days, that Sunrise would not only command a princely sum of $2.00 a ticket, but run for over 28 weeks at the Times Square Theater in New York City. Because of its incredible popularity the original advertising paper on this film was used extensively traveling through the several rungs of distributorship until the ragged remnants were finally discarded. This is the first poster we have offered on the title and the only copy of this unique window card that we have seen. ” Heritage Auctions where this 14″ x 22″ window card sold for $19,120 in 2008.
