Drawing Upon Drawing Reception

5 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.
IU Center for Art+Design
http://indiana.edu/~iucad/

Drawing Upon Drawing, curated by Jennifer Riley, will go on display April 7 – May 27 at the Indiana University Center for Art+Design.

This exhibition features seven acclaimed practitioners of drawing who approach problems of representation, imagination, modeling, rendering, and expression in remarkable and diverse ways. These works draw upon art, architecture, urbanism, history, psychology, myth, and cultural lore. Drawing Upon Drawing artists include: David Braly, Will Bruder, Anthony Fisher, William Gwin, Frank Harmon, Patricia Heyda, Thomas Lyon Mills, and Caleb Weintraub. The artists have been selected to support specific concerns to be addressed in the conference.

This exhibition coincides with Drawing and the Brain, a symposium gathering artists, architects, and scientists to discuss the primacy of the sketch as a creative tool of invention and discovery in architecture. The symposium addresses questions of authorship and mark-making; drawing and the human voice; the relationship between hand and brain; and the potential for creation of “digital/tactile machines” able to emulate touch and mark-making.

The symposium commences with a reception for Drawing Upon Drawing on April 7 from 5 to 7:30 p.m. Jennifer Riley will deliver a gallery talk from 6 to 7 p.m. during the reception. The gallery talk will draw upon the histories of these approaches; it will offer interpretation (analysis of the formal and conceptual aspects) and illumination of these specific examples of handmade drawing to further the understanding of how they may relate to current research on the brain and drawing.
