Collection 1: Transgressing Lines
Apr 04, 2020 - Jun 14, 2020
Drawing lines on paper is a relatively quick and easy process, and drawing is not recognized as a genre on the level of painting or sculpture. Line drawing has traditionally been regarded as a preparatory stage before the finished product, for conceiving ideas, ensuring things are remembered, practicing, verifying ideas and so forth. However, it has become a crucial part of various modern and contemporary art practices. Artists have taken the perceived drawbacks of drawing - the incompleteness of images, the vestiges of thoughts not yet fully formed - and turned them into something positive, a means of light-heartedly overcoming the creative deadlock of making art. In this exhibition of works from the museum's collection, we re-examine the possibilities of the act of drawing.
