WEB: Drawing Time, Reading Time: An International Exhibition of Artists
Introduction
WEB: Drawing Time, Reading Time is an international exhibition of contemporary drawings that explore the relationship between drawing and reading. The exhibition features over 100 works by artists from around the world, spanning the 1960s to the present day. The exhibition is curated by Dr. Sarah Cooper, an art historian and curator specializing in contemporary art and drawing.
The exhibition is divided into three sections:
- Drawing as a Form of Reading
- Reading as a Form of Drawing
- The Interplay of Drawing and Reading
Drawing as a Form of Reading
The first section of the exhibition explores how artists use drawing to read the world around them.
These works often take the form of sketches, diagrams, and other preparatory studies that have been made in response to a specific text or object.
By drawing, these artists are able to engage with the text or object on a deeper level and to gain a better understanding of its meaning.
Reading as a Form of Drawing
The second section of the exhibition explores how artists use reading as a form of drawing.
These works often take the form of text-based drawings, in which the artist uses words and phrases to create images.
By reading these works, we can gain a deeper understanding of the artist's thought processes and creative methods.
The Interplay of Drawing and Reading
The third section of the exhibition explores the interplay of drawing and reading.
These works often combine elements of both drawing and reading, and they challenge our traditional understanding of these two activities.
By blurring the boundaries between drawing and reading, these works invite us to reconsider the nature of both activities.
Conclusion
WEB: Drawing Time, Reading Time is an important and timely exhibition that explores the relationship between drawing and reading.
The exhibition features a wide range of works by international artists, and it offers a unique opportunity to learn about the different ways that artists use drawing and reading to create meaning.
