Selections Summer 2005: Wall-to-Wall Drawing

Wall-to-Wall Drawing, curated through The Drawing Center's Viewing Program, features wall drawings by seven emerging artists. Rather than creating murals or using the wall as a super-canvas, these artists delve into the function of the wall and its symbolic value. Whether making subtle graphite marks, bold drywall cut-outs, huge gestural lines, or digital media projections, all of the artists play with ideas of illusionism, transparency, depth, and materiality of the wall as it both supports and becomes their artwork. Through diverse approaches, the artists in Wall-to-Wall Drawing deconstruct the surface of the museum wall and develop complex relationships between the wall and the message of their work.
