Love of Diagrams
Perth Institute of Contemporary Arts, 51 James St, Perth WA
11 September - 14 November 2010
Diagrams, patterns, series and systems – these modernist and conceptual strategies are being negotiated anew by many artists today. Love of Diagrams brings together key works by leading and emerging international and Australian artists who are creating their own idiosynchratic logic for investigating everything from politics and social patterns to time, energy and architecture. Embracing drawing, collage, painting, sound and installation, this exhibition questions the origins of these artists’ obsessions with all things diagrammatic and what this signals as a means of representing, mapping and articulating current ideas.
Artists: Marita Fraser (Australia/Austria), Bradford Bailey (USA/UK), Joyce Hinterding (Australia), David Thomson (Australia), Armando Andrade Tudela (Peru), Bojan Sarcevic (Bosnia/France), Jose Damasceno (Brazil), Natasha Dusenjko (Australia).
Curator: Leigh Robb
