SUMMARY:Drink & Draw: Botanical Readiness with EC Brown
DESCRIPTION:Come have a drink with us!\n\nAs part of our fundraising efforts to stay inky\, join us for Drink & Draw on September 10. There will be beer\, paper\, pencils\, conversations\, and commiseration. \nThis event will be hosted by EC Brown\, who will introduce an online magazine\, Botanical Readiness. This gardening publication is going rogue: open to straightforward horticultural contributions while extending into occult\, psychedelic\, and genre territories. For Spudnik’s Drink & Draw\, artists will be invited to push botanical drawing into otherworldly places—and submit their work to Volume 4 of Botanical Readiness. \nPay what you can — suggested donation: $10–$20 \nDrink & Draw is a low-key\, drop-in social workshop devoted to drawing practices. There are no pretensions\, no prerequisites\, and newcomers are always welcome. Bring a sketchbook and basic drawing materials—and invite your friends! Drink & Draw occurs on the second Wednesday of every month and features a special theme and a guest artist. Admission is a suggested donation of $10–$20. We provide the beer — you just bring yourself (and your friends\, and your family; children are always welcome). \nAbout Botanical Readiness\, Vol. 4\nDeadline: Sept. 22 (Autumn Equinox)\nhttps://www.archeospiritist.com \nThis project is meant to run the gamut between gardening matters\, related research and writings\, botanical documentation\, occultist enigmas\, pure abstractions\, and tawdry genre influences (psych\, horror\, etc.). \nWish list of contributions: \n\nReflections on gardening\, cultivation\, and botany\nDocumentation of this summer’s gardening work or horticultural encounters\nExcerpts of related reading/research\nSupernatural/paranormal material\, even with a tenuous connection to gardening\nMinimalist psychedelia\nPure color experiments\, with or without a clear connection to the project\nPure signal/pattern abstractions — audio or visual\n\nEC Brown is an artist and exhibition organizer who teaches art and design at SAIC\, Columbia\, and Lillstreet. He became active in the domestic artspace network starting in the mid-2000s with COMA (2006–08)\, Floor Length and Tux (2009–2014)\, ASCII (2011–2022)\, and Tascam (2015–2023). Recent facilitations have been online\, including Record of the Month Club\, Hemiboreal (for Krampusnacht)\, and — most recently — Botanical Readiness.
