With work by 11 international artists, including Kate Davis, Sandra Vasquez de la Horra and David Haines, The End of the Line proposes the art of drawing as a primal, universal, inexpensive and democratically available means of making one’s mark. These are drawings that embody the processes of thought, that map the traceries of spontaneous reverie, that tell graphic stories, that say- in the unique calligraphy of the artist’s touch- “I was here. I saw this. These are the lines made by world’s movement.” Running concurrently in a contrasting and complementary show of hands-on art, Raising the Bar is a survey of international metalsmithing. With many of the artists as renowned for their jewellery as for their non-practical art, the exhibition questions the assumption that art and craft are mutually exclusive.
