Overview
Co-presented by O Cinema and Oolite Arts, this screening of HOW TO DRAW A BUNNY is a mystery science theater style conversation and screening event with Head of Special Collections & Archives for the Miami-Dade Public Library System, Stephanie Marie Garcia, American art critic and curator, Saul Ostrow, and artist and curator, Laura Marsh. The trio will candidly talk about the work and legacy of Ray Johnson as so thoughtfully narrated in the 2002 film, produced by Andrew J. Moore and directed by John Walter.The cartoon rabbit that was artist Ray Johnson’s signature serves as the inspiration for the title of this documentary that examines the work, life and untimely death of this one-of-a-kind artist. Interviews of fellow contemporary artists like Christo and Billy Name shine a light on the professional work and private life of Johnson, while archival video shows him in his element creating his unique artwork that combined everything from Pop Art images, rubber stamps and collage.
