Drawing : Sculpture 14 February - 6 April Preview on Wednesday 13 February 6 - 8.30pm Sara Barker, Anna Barriball, Alice Channer, Aleana Egan, Knut Henrik Henriksen, Bojan Šarcevic and Dan Shaw-Town Drawing: Sculpture presents a selection of artworks that explore whether the languages of drawing and sculpture are now intertwined or if they continue to exist in parallel. It includes work by a generation of international artists who make work that moves between sculpture and drawing, often using the medium of drawing to create works that might be defined as sculpture. The exhibition presents an international line up of artists working in some of the key cultural capitals: Anna Barriball and Alice Channer in London, Sara Barker in Glasgow, Aleana Egan in Dublin, Knut Henrik Henriksen and Bojan Šarcevic in Berlin and Dan Shaw-Town in New York. The exhibition at Drawing Room will include newly commissioned work by Anna Barriball and Knut Henrik Henriksen. Anna Barriball and Dan Shaw-Town share an employment of repetitive graphite mark-making. This attention to process and the passage of time is countered by the formal strategies of Minimalism such as the employment of rectilinear shapes, the grid and serialisation. Sara Barker and Aleana Egan use line to negotiate responses to visual and literary influences and to conjure open yet resolved forms. Knut Henrik Henriksen has an interest in questioning and redefining architectural spaces, paying particular attention to the in-between and contradictory, and leaving the work open to adaption to different environments. Alice Channer and Bojan Šarèeviæ create works that are hard to define, incorporating a wide range of materials and procedures that pay attention to details, combining the domestic, the body and the mechanical. In the work of each artist there is a fusing of opposites – inside and outside, objective and subjective, bodily and ascetic – and a consideration of in between, discursive spaces. The pre-fabricated and the hand-made are combined seamlessly in works that challenge artifice and celebrate how the work is constructed. The works articulate a contest between formalism and conceptualism and the exhibition will investigate the interplay between an attention to surface and material and attention to line and form. Drawing: Sculpture is the first partnership between Drawing Room, London - the only public, non-profit gallery in the UK and Europe dedicated to the investigation and presentation of international contemporary drawing - and Leeds Art Gallery, home to the most comprehensive collection of sculpture in any regional British gallery.
