The drawing is just not there
West Space, Naarm/ Melbourne
4 May- 16 Jun 2018
The drawing is just not there features multi-generational local practitioners who engage with image-making - as material, abstraction and non-narratives, gesture, sculpture, graphic, collage and lacking authorship / the artist’s hand.
Curated by West Space Director Patrice Sharkey in collaboration with creative facilitative assistance from Christopher L G Hill, the project is conceived as a conversational exploration of the possibilities within and beyond the boundaries of painting as an approach to practice. Presented are works that no longer look like a painting, are more materially focused, and other works that borrow painting’s form.
The exhibition was supported by a number of public programs that consider current attitudes towards painting as a contemporary practice, medium specificity and related politics of exhibition making.
The drawing is just not there is presented in partnership with Arts Projects Australia and Charles Nodrum Gallery.
