Drawn Out

Print Studio Gallery, London

Is the third in a series of exhibitions entitled Printed Space at London Print Studio Gallery. It is an exhibition that looks at the temporal process of mark-making. The act of drawing is explored as a means of producing space and recording time. Each of the artists have used drawing as a means of making sense of the physical world in which we live; a world which is represented as a place that is continually ‘drawn out’ over time.

Drawn Out is the third in a series of exhibitions entitled PRINTED SPACE at London Print Studio Gallery.
It is an exhibition that looks at the temporal process of mark-making. The act of drawing is explored as a means of producing space and recording time.
Each of the artists have used drawing as a means of making sense of the physical world in which we live.
Drawn Out is less interested in drawing as a mode of representation and instead focuses on its informative mechanisms.

Wayne Clements' drawings are based on found words, expressions or everyday phrases, which he manipulates to highlight their physical resonance.
His drawings appear as deceptively, simple architectural diagrams that incorporate these phrases. His work displays at its surface the marks that are made up of words. These words become the constructive elements that suggest spatial structures, whereas the enigmatic, everyday expressions are employed to construct meaningful relationships between the text and the drawn diagrams.

Eduardo Costa’s work is about travel. He is interested in recording and representing the journey. Costa affixes an enclosed box to the interior of a vehicle within which he is travelling. He decides on the distance and destination of his journey. The implement inside the box vibrates as the vehicle moves and produces a drawing that registers and records the movement of his travels. For this exhibition he will show the drawings of 3 journeys which are defined by the distances; 100km, 200km, 300km.

Katie Holten will create a site-specific, drawing installation on the walls of London Print Studio Gallery. Numerous and disparate elements are brought together to imply a sense of resolution. The drawings seem to be trying to make sense of the physical world around us, yet the solutions are located in the proposition of the problem itself. By bringing together identifiable motifs and graphic structures from areas such as geography, cartography, architecture, urban planning, and botany, her drawing-installation represents the physical world as a matrix of connections and spatial intersections.

Simon Lewandowski has been making drawing machines for many years. These machines are both art objects in themselves, as much as they are technological devices for the production of more art. At London Print Studio, he will show one of his new machines that focuses on it’s own objecthood, as well as a series of drawing machines that will produce drawings for the duration of the exhibition. The volume of drawings will increase during the exhibition, as viewers are invited to produce and participate in the production of their own drawings with the aid of Lewandowski’s machines.

Frank Lüsing’s computerised drawings show a simple line that is marked out accross a large sheet of white paper. Lüsing has created a computer drawing programme which relates place to time, according to the point/place of the drawings’ projection. Each drawing is a record of the life of a person according to their biography and the places in which they have lived for a period of time. The line represents the world as travelled by the subject of each drawing. An entire life of an individual is reduced to nothing more than a simple line.

Markus Vater’s drawings are both humorous and poetic. He explores mark-making as a mode of expression, that contains it’s own internal language. Drawing is used of a means of primitive communication with ‘the other’. In Drawn Out he will show a selection of drawings that includes a series that he has made for cats and other animals; drawings made for himself as an un-born child, and a new video work that sees the artist marking out the structure of his DNA in a snow-covered landscape.

In Drawn Out, each artist employs drawing as a means of making sense of the physical world around us; a world which is represented as a place that is continually ‘drawn out’ over time.
