Iggy Pop Life Drawing Class
Title
Iggy Pop Life Drawing Class
Description
The project consisted of inviting an icon of popular culture – such as Iggy Pop – to pose, without revealing his identity to the students, as a model for a drawing class. The results of these sessions would then be donated and preserved at the Smithsonian Institution. The artist’s research here focuses on the importance of preserving the social content and values related to pop music and its enjoyment, placing them in a broader cultural context, and, in particular, on the role that certain bands and musicians play for specific communities of fans or, as in this case, for a heterogeneous and often unaware public.
The document is a drawing by Sarah Tynan and serves as an example of what could have been the outcome of the class’s work.
The project was organized by the Brooklyn Museum in 2016.
