EXHIBITION

Iterations: Contemporary Approaches to Drawing

Ohio, Richmond, 09/15/2017 - 04/20/2018

University of Richmond Museums

ABOUT

The artists in the exhibition can be linked to Minimalism, Post-Minimalism, and Conceptual art practices, but they also offer different explorations of processes and materials. These artists reject traditional, representational approaches to drawing, challenging the medium’s art historical past. Furthermore, they consider drawing to serve more than a preliminary function in the artistic process, such as a precursor for a painting or sculpture, and instead recognize it as its own art form.

Highlighted in the exhibition are works by well-known as well as emerging artists who embrace drawing in their practices, such as William Anastasi, Stephen Antonakos, Mel Bochner, Teo González, Sharon Louden, Sol LeWitt, and others.

Many of the artists included in the exhibition are engaged in a variety of artistic pursuits aside from drawing, and also consider themselves painters, sculptors, installation, video, and sound artists. They offer interdisciplinary approaches to drawing, working with materials, techniques, and processes not often associated with the medium.
