Marking Language 10 October 2013 – 14 December 2013 Pavel Büchler, Johanna Calle, Annabel Daou, Matias Faldbakken, Karl Holmqvist, Bernardo Ortiz, Shahzia Sikander Exhibition exploring the relationship between linguistic communication and drawing in recent art. Drawing Room and The Drawing Center, New York, will be presenting parallel exhibitions that explore the relationship between linguistic communication and drawing in recent art. Throughout the twentieth century, and in particular since the 1960s, artists have mined language for the subject and matter of their art, incorporating the mode, format and meaning of text into their work. Together the two exhibitions, Marking Language at Drawing Room and Drawing Time, Reading Time at The Drawing Center, will present an international selection of artists from the United Kingdom, Belgium, Colombia, Greece, Lebanon, Norway, Sweden, Argentina and the United States. Collectively these artists works demonstrate an inventive use of words and text, creating work that is visually rich and narratively resonant. They re-examine the codes, symbols and structures of language, whilst at the same time acknowledging and harnessing the personal and cultural context in which it is produced and understood. A fully illustrated catalogue of both exhibitions will include essays by Claire Gilman, Curator, Drawing Center, New York; Melissa Gronlund, an editor of Afterall and a writer on contemporary art based in London and Kate Macfarlane, Co-Director, Drawing Room. |
