Drawing Toward an End

Cal State University, Santa Ana

Paul McCarthy, Liz Young, Franco Angeloni

BACKGROUND:
Drawing Toward an End is one of three drawing exhibitions in a joint Cal State University exhibition schedule. Partipating in this joint exhibition are Cal State University Long Beach, Cal State University Los Angeles, and Cal State University Fullerton, Grand Central Art Center.

The title of this exhibition, "Drawing Toward an End," functions on two levels. All three of the artists use drawing as a tool toward an end, that end is the message of their work. All three of the artists are concerned with the social, ethical, and moral condition of culture at the end of the millennium. Specifically, all three artists are interested in the subtext of culture. Each of these three artists in their own way investigates the meaning behind the veneer of socially acceptable behavior.
All three of these artists are also primarily known for their performance and installation work. For them drawing is an adjunct tool for larger projects. They use drawing because it is a quick, immediate and economical method to experiment with and convey ideas.

Paul McCarthy is an internationally celebrated artist. He is a pioneer of performance art in California. His sculpture and drawings have been exhibited through the world. The drawings in this exhibition are from his "Nazi-Cowboy" series.

Liz Young is a southern California-based artist. Her installations and performances often deal with deeply personal experience and address such difficult issues as pain, struggle, and mortality.

Franco Angeloni has mostly exhibited in Europe. In the past five years most of his work has been installations and performance-based augmented by drawings, ready-made objects, and various forms of documentation. Originally trained as a painter and graphic designer, Angeloni has, in recent years, taken to socio- politically provocative installations and public provocations.
