‘Just Draw’ celebrates drawing and its many possibilities: installation, kinetics, multimedia, performance, robotics and sculpture. Exhibition curators Todd Fuller and Lisa Woolfe present Australian artists who leverage the possibilities of this deceptively simple medium. From artists whose work could be described as a contemporary take on a classical methodology, to those who nudge the definition of ‘drawing’ beyond the realm of ‘marks on paper’, this survey considers works of art that are so much more than just drawing.
