Julius Caesar and Peregrine Program
February 3, 2013- March 3, 2013

We are two friends who have been talking to each other about drawing for a long time. We are both makers and fans. This show is an attempt to explore the perpetual malleability of drawing -- how it does so many things in so many ways, and remains fresh, with a quality of immediacy. We are bringing together a group of artists who use drawing towards distinct ends in order to ask: what sets drawing apart from all other media, even as most of these artists tap into other media with their work?

A small, black and white, photocopied zine will accompany the exhibition with writing and images.

-- Carrie Gundersdorf & Eric Lebofsky
