MONIKA GRZYMALA: RUPTURES 19 February � 5 April 2009 The Drawing Room is delighted to announce Monika Grzymala�s first solo exhibition in the UK. Monika Grzymala�s installations function somewhere between an architectural intervention and immense line drawings. Grzymala�s installation for The Drawing Room is a personal response to the chaotic London sky-line, to the architectural space of the gallery and to the ideas explored in the Hayward Touring exhibition, �The end of the line: attitudes in drawing�, of which this commission is part. Grzymala describes each drawing in space in terms of kilometres of used line which references the personal investment of time and energy. For Ruptures the lines will be created from sticky tape in varying tones of grey, a nod to the predominance of grey in our city. These lines will be interrupted and converge on given points, collide and ricochet, sending out reports, staccato marks to bombard other areas. Miraculously the eye will fill in the gaps, create the continuum capable of maintaining the velocity of the multiple lines. The rectilinear properties of The Drawing Room will be ruptured by the maelstrom of activity that punctuates the space. This is a site specific installation commissioned by The Drawing Room to coincide with �The end of the line: attitudes in drawing� a Hayward Touring exhibition in collaboration with mima, Middlesbrough and The Bluecoat, Liverpool in association with The Drawing Room. The work will be linked to site-specific installations created at mima, Middlesbrough, (27 February � 10 May) and Bluecoat, Liverpool (22 May - 29 July). Monika Grzymala was born in Poland in 1970 and lives and works in Berlin, Germany. Recent exhibitions include a two-person exhibition at Catriona Jeffries Gallery, Vancouver (2008); group exhibitions at Transmission Gallery, Glasgow (2007); Marian Goodman Gallery, New York (2006) & The Drawing Center, New York (2005). She has just completed a residency at the Chianti Foundation, Marfa, Texas and is currently creating site-specific work with hand-made paper for permanent display at the Dian Woodner Collection, New York. http://www.t-r-a-n-s-i-t.net/ For further information please contact Mary Doyle or Kate Macfarlane on 020 7729 5333 or mail @ drawingroom.org.uk |
