Des Lee Gallery: Friday, 11 September 2009
Way Out of Line is curated by Mamie Korpela and features Washington University MFA candidates Clyde Ashby , Andrew Cozzens , John Early, Joel Fullerton , Mary Beth Hassan , Nick Hutchings , Mad Mohre , Nicolette Ross , Carlie Trosclair , Kathryn Neale, Christopher Ottinger. Join us at the Des Lee Gallery for the opening reception Friday, September 11, 2009 from 6-9. The exhibition runs through October 25, 2009.
Way Out of Line is a drawing show that poses the question, what is line? Historically drawing has been a way for artists, architects and designers to make preliminary plans for larger bodies of work.
As MFA candidates how can we challenge our concept of drawing? Perhaps one way is to narrow our focus and think about line itself. If we can strip drawing down to it's most basic building block then perhaps we can facilitate a dialogue that will push the concepts of drawing, thereby opening it up to all types of media from the traditional to the experimental. Way Out of Line could force us to think our own "way out" of a mark made on a piece of paper.
