Three exhibitions

The Drawing Center, New York

Guillermo Kuitca
Diarios

Curated by Brett Littman, Executive Director

Guillermo Kuitca: Diarios will be the first U.S. museum exhibition of a selection of paintings made from 2005 to the present. Since 1994, Kuitca has taken failed and discarded canvases, stretched them over an abandoned table from his parents’ garden, and then spent periods of time ranging from three to six months creating intentional and accidental doodles, drawings, and recordings on their surfaces. The Diarios, as the artist calls them, are the most transparently personal works in his oeuvre as they gather residue like phone numbers, titles of paintings, email addresses, blank spots where books sat, lists, and collaged elements that record the ebb and flow of life inside and outside the studio. In addition to the Diarios, The Drawing Center will present a projection of the table in Kuitca’s studio that will document the next Diario as it is being made. This exhibition will travel to the Eli and Edythe Broad Art Museum at Michigan State University, East Lansing, MI from February 22 - May 26, 2013 and then to MCA Denver, where it will be on view from June 21 - September 15, 2013.

José Antonio Suárez Londoño
The Yearbooks

Curated by Claire Gilman, Curator

This exhibition will include a selection of notebooks (also referred to as “yearbooks”) dating from 1997 to the present. Works will be taken from the Colombian artist’s ongoing project in which he creates a daily drawing based on a book or series of books that he reads over the course of a year. Loose drawings excerpted from José Antonio Suárez Londoño’s sketchbooks will be exhibited alongside notebooks and select source books in vitrines.

In Deed
Certificates of Authenticity in Art

Curated by Susan Hapgood and Cornelia Lauf, independent curators

Exploring the notion of artists’ certificates of authenticity over the past 50 years, works in this exhibition range from the most formal legal certificates to dashed-off notations, all of which play a role in defining the parameters of a given art work. Legal and ontological implications will be investigated, including the certificate’s ability to embody the artwork itself, while also serving as its referent, deed, legal statement, or fiscal invoice. This international traveling exhibition will make its only New York stop at The Drawing Center.
