Gabo Camnitzer & Belén Santillán

This is a conversation between curator Belén Santillán and artist Gabo Camnitzer about his work "50 Million Windows" at Momentum 12, hosted by Wei Ting Tseng/Zeng. 50 Million Windows is a collaborative drawing project inspired by the trailblazing public grade school teacher, Albert Collum's prompt to his students from 1963: "Draw every window in New York City." In the project’s first installment, the summer youth camp at Queens Museum (2021) attempted to draw New York City’s current 50,000,000 windows, while discussing what a window really is: where the word comes from ("wind-eye"), what differences in kinds of windows from neighborhood to neighborhood signify, and how our relationship to our windows changed over the course of COVID. During Momentum 12, we invite you to look through the windows of this gallery and draw every window in Moss.
