Sculpture-installation > The Drawing Board at Loop Gallery, 2017
-
invitation--Loop Gallery
“The Drawing Board" members are professors JJ Lee, Amy Swartz, and Natalie Majaba Waldburger. Our first public exhibition, "Back to the Drawing Board" was at Loop gallery in August 2017. As individual artists with 20+ year career spans, we have exhibited extensively, have work in both public and private collections and have been recipients of multiple grants and awards.In the context post-secondary education, we have worked together in a variety of different contexts over the past fifteen years, from partnerships on creative projects and exhibitions, teaching in post-secondary institutions, and most recently working at OCAD University on establishing new specializations, curriculum, and teaching collaborations. We have a unique and common bond as artists, women, mothers, and educators and our creative dialogue seeks to investigate the complexities of work and working relationships in the context of an art university. The artwork examines the role of creativity and collaboration mediated by institutional structures. -

This project uses drawing as a visual language to bypass societal classifications including cultural, social, economic and educational barriers. The activity of drawing can serve as an institutional critique and contribute to decolonizing education. All the installation and drawings exhibited alongside the perfromance work was made collaboratively using materials evocative of office work.
