Description

Drawing Degree Zero: A Pivotal Moment in Drawing's History In 1966, Mel Bochner's groundbreaking exhibition Working Drawings and Other Visible Things on Paper Not Necessarily Meant to Be Viewed as Art marked a significant shift in the way drawing was perceived. Over the next decade, artists such as Sol LeWitt, Rosemarie Castoro, Dorothea Rockburne, and Richard Tuttle continued this trend, challenging traditional notions of drawing as a preparatory or subsidiary practice. These artists employed drawing's notational, provisional, and incidental qualities to create systematic, conceptually rigorous works that blurred the lines between art and everyday life. Drawing Degree Zero explores the strategies used by these pioneers to confound long-standing presumptions about drawing, rendering it public rather than private, and conceptually rigorous rather than manually dexterous. By examining the work of these artists, Anna Lovatt sheds new light on the resurgence of interest in drawing, highlighting its ability to foreground issues of authorship, process, location, and participation that remain fundamental to contemporary art.
