INFINITE LINE
Contemporary Drawing in Time and Space
Curated by Elizabeth Ferrer
January 16 – March 1, 2008
Opening Reception
Wed January 16, 7 – 9pm
This exhibition poses a question that is central to the realm of contemporary art: Is drawing still important? In an era when the artist's hand has been essentially absent from the production of much recent art work, it is worth reassessing the role of drawing, once considered foundational to all visual arts.
The title Infinite Line underscores the obsessive, linear nature of much of the work included. Drawing fundamentally defines the practice of the six artists, whose work encompasses monumental drawing, multimedia drawing projections, drawing-as-installation, site-specific drawing, in addition to pen on paper. By presenting a diversity of media and formats, Infinite Line expresses the possibility for drawing to remain not only relevant, but revelatory, in the world of contemporary art.
