The Drawing Collective: Fenestration

Fenestration, an architectural term for the design and placement of multiple windows or other openings in a façade, is at once the title and curatorial construct for this group exhibition. Throughout the history of abstraction, the visualised idea of framed and ordered pictorial space has continued to engage artists, with endless permutations of line, form, colour, material and media made possible.

The device of a portal for looking – a fenestra – between interior and exterior provides site, border, and potent metaphor for multiple drawings made to fit a uniform window. Each artist has been given a window from which they can perch, dangle, reflect, look out, or in, or even close and cover up.

Fenestration presents abstract drawings from The Drawing Collective, a global cohort of 35+ artist-drawers, and in a gesture of amity, alongside drawings by guest artists from DRAW Space.
