FILAMENT
DRAW SPACE
Curated by Sarah Eddowes
FILAMENT explores the line as a fundamental structure which enables the break down and reconstitution of three-dimensional forms. While the two-dimensional line has a well established history of mark-making and allusion to mass and depth, the three-dimensional line has a genealogy in craft, sculpture and high end technology. Processes such as weaving, knitting, 3D printing and laser scanning are capable of creating complex form by processing one line at a time.
Anthropologist Tim Ingold notes the ubiquity of the line in both actions and physical structures. Human activities such as speech, music, growth and travel operate linearly. Both organic and non-organic bodies comprise linear structures as fibres, veins, branches, roots and needles. This exhibition gathers nine artists who through varied motivations, implement the three dimensional linear structure as a means for mobility between form and abstraction, growth and disintegration.
