Opening 2 March, Prism: drawing from 1990 to 2012 is the first large scale presentation of contemporary drawing in Norway's National Museum of Art, Architecture and Design. The exhibition explores recent developments within drawing's figurative, conceptual and spatial vocabularies of the past two decades. It presents drawing as an autonomous media within contemporary art practice and offers insights to the rich diversity of styles and approaches used by Norwegian and international artists.
Structured around five suppositions—idea translation, spatial description, sequence and moment, fantasy and document, monographic and mechanical techniques—, the exhibition gathers 400 individual drawing works by 37 artists, providing insights onto how drawing is understood today. Prism includes works by Ghada Amer & Reza Fahrkondeh, Vanessa Baird, Markus Brendmoe, Frédéric Bruly Bouabré, Mariana Castillo Deball, Dag Erik Elgin, Roar Werner Eriksen, Bertil Greging, Jan Groth, Kalle Grude, Wenche Gulbransen, Ane Mette Hol, Patrik Huse, Zhang Chun Hong, Olav Christopher Jenssen, Anish Kapoor, William Kentridge, Richard Long, Lotte Konow Lund, Pierre Lionel Matte, Ian McKeever, Julie Merethu, Robin Rhode, Leonard Rickhard, Nancy Rubins, Hanns Schimannsky,Tiril Schrøder, Karin M.
