LINEWEIGHT-Contemporary Drawing
Truman State University Art Gallery
Deadline: 08/01/08

Call for Artists – LINEWEIGHT
Submission Deadline: August 1, 2008

Lineweight is a curated exhibition of contemporary drawing to be displayed at the Truman State University Art Gallery in Kirksville, MO in January and February 2009. A CD-ROM catalog will be produced to document the show and participating artists will receive an honorarium. Please e-mail Aaron Fine at afine@truman.edu for full text of call to artists. Artists are encouraged to submit work that reinforces the critically important status of drawing in contemporary art. Artists may submit work already completed or may propose a new project for the exhibition. Once described as handmaiden to the arts, drawing has become a critically important practice in art today. While linked to feminist concerns with the body, drawing also neatly maps onto our mind’s processes.
