Inspired by current Drawing Show at MOMA: (text copied without permission)
Glossolalia: Languages of Drawing
March 26–July 7, 2008
The Paul J. Sachs Drawings Galleries, third floor
Some artists have always functioned beyond the "isms" of art history, following personal and unique paths, sometimes shaped by biography, but just as often informed by devotion to a specific subject matter, medium, or technique. Glossolalia: Languages of Drawing, featuring selected works from MoMA's drawings collection, reveals the underlying and unexpected links between the works of a diverse group of artists. Ultimately, the exhibition suggests that even amidst iconoclasm, isolation, or the pursuit of invented worlds and obsessions, shared methods can lead to a common visual language.
I love these shows. In particular I was responding this time around to (Bruce Connor's?) Rorschach ink blot drawings. The drawing shown is done by my six year old.
