Drake Carr's first European institutional show opens at Grazer Kunstverein
The Grazer Kunstverein in Graz, Austria, is hosting "House," marking the inaugural European institutional exhibition of artist Drake Carr, who is based in New York. Carr, born in 1993 in Flint, Michigan, specializes in drawings that reflect social environments, moments, and locations, often influenced by the unique characteristics of a place—its inhabitants, gestures, decor, colors, and ambiance. His ongoing series "Walk-Ins" (2023, 2024, 2025) captures social interactions in cities like New York, Paris, and Los Angeles, merging the remarkable with the mundane. As part of the Grazer Kunstverein's 40th anniversary celebration, Carr will establish his studio within the galleries, inviting artists, collaborators, team members, and visitors to pose for portraits, infusing Graz with the essence of New York portraiture.
