The two artists were chosen for their investigations into drawing as an expanded field. Katie Holten’s Constellations are a series of new white-on-black drawings that resemble aggregations of stars. Mariateresa Sartori’s double channel video The Drawers shows her students drawing, their eyes looking at the camera, darting to the pages below, and back again. Sartori and Holten find beauty in their investigations of systemic composition and line. The exhibition will be accompanied by a fully illustrated catalogue with texts by Kathy Battista, Samuel Bordreuil, and a conversation between Katie Holten and Sarah Sze. Kathy Battista is a writer, curator, and educator.
