| Žilvina Kempina "Dubultais O" MoMAs izstādē Ņujorkā Esther Adler, Curatorial Assistant, Department of Drawings, MoMA Zilvinas Kempinas’s sculptures are magic. Somehow, the air currents created by two industrial-strength fans turn the two loops of videotape in Double O into a living, dancing sculpture, performing tirelessly for hours in MoMA’s Agnes Gund Garden Lobby. | ||||||||||||||

| This work is presented as part of the exhibition On Line: Drawing Through the Twentieth Century, currently on view on the Museum’s sixth floor, and its inclusion in this context encourages us to reconsider what makes a work a drawing. Kempinas isn’t working with pencil, pen, or paper, but Double O is very much a drawing in space, a mass of lines activating the real world rather than a two-dimensional surface. The work recalls that of many other artists included in the exhibition—for example, Alexander Calder, whose mobile sculptures also respond to the air currents created by the movement of viewers, and Vasily Kandinsky, whose black ink lines dance across the page. In the video, the artist talks about his choice of materials and why he is drawn to them. Have a look, and then come by the Museum to see Double O in action. You’ll never see the same work twice. On Line explores the radical transformation of the medium of drawing throughout the twentieth century, a period when numerous artists subjected the traditional concepts of drawing to a critical examination and expanded the medium's definition in relation to gesture and form. In a revolutionary departure from the institutional definition of drawing, and from the reliance on paper as the fundamental support material, artists instead pushed line across the plane into real space, thus questioning the relation between the object of art and the world. On Line includes approximately three hundred works that connect drawing with selections of painting, sculpture, photography, film, and dance (represented by film and documentation). In this way, the exhibition makes the case for a discursive history of mark making, while mapping an alternative project of drawing in the twentieth century. The exhibition includes works by a wide range of artists, both familiar and relatively unknown, from different eras of the past century and from many nations, including Aleksandr Rodchenko, Alexander Calder, Karel Malich, Eva Hesse, Anna Maria Maiolino, Richard Tuttle, Mona Hatoum, and Monika Grzymala. The exhibition is organized by Connie Butler, The Robert Lehman Foundation Chief Curator of Drawings, The Museum of Modern Art, and Catherine de Zegher, former director, The Drawing Center, New York. | ||||||||||||||
