DRAW warmup and opening

DRAW: Museo De La Ciudad De Mexico

DRAW: Mexico City Museo de la Ciudad de Mexico

June 19 - August 15, 2010

Curated by Erik Foss and Curse Mackey
Special Guest Curator for Mexico: Miguel Calderon 

Museum  Director: Cristina Faesler

DRAW is the largest contemporary drawing exhibition to emerge out of New York City. The show is a tribute to the often-underrated but fundamental building block of visual and graphic art: the drawing.

Artists whose original works are in the show include : Terence Koh, Dan Colen, Aurel Schmidt , R. Crumb, HR Giger, Robert Williams, Mark Ryden, Wes Lang, Barry McGee, Neck Face, Tim Biskup, Ed Templeton, David Byrne, Karen O, WK Interact, Doze Green and many many more.

After four years of gallery exhibitions, DRAW will have it's museum debut at Museo de la Cuidad de Mexico, one of Mexico City's finest museums. The opening is on June 19, 2010 and will exhibit through August 15, 2010. To coincide with the exhibition, the museum will be publishing a book for worldwide distribution to contemporary museum bookstores around the world. Carlo McCormick, one of the most respected art writers and curators in the U.S. will be writing an introductory essay for the book.

DRAW debuted in October of 2006 at NYC’s Fuse Gallery to phenomenal response from audience and press alike. It had an equally impressive showing during the SXSW 2007 Music, Film + Interactive Festival in Austin, Texas. It was the most well-attended opening to date for East London’s leading contemporary art gallery, StolenSpace and most recently, the exhibit drew over 2000 people to its San Francisco debut at Shooting Gallery.

With each showing of DRAW the collection has increased in scope through additional curation by hosting galleries and through the word of mouth that develops with a project of this magnitude. In keeping with this evolution, a select group of contemporary artists from Mexico will be curated by Miguel Calderon to participate in DRAW:Mexico. Their work will remain in the collection as DRAW is currently on a world tour with future showings in Tokyo, Paris, Milan, Vienna, Los Angele's, Barcelona and Berlin. DRAW is planned as a 15 year project that will continue to morph and evolve throughout the years as a monolith of creativity.

The DRAW artist list is widespread and spans multiple decades, movements, genres, mediums and continents. As vast as the list is, the DRAW curators all have personal connections with all of the artists. In essence it's a friends and family project built of years of interaction and collaboration. DRAW exists as an ongoing document of a collective movement that originated out of a 500 square foot gallery (Fuse Gallery) in the back of Lit Lounge in NYC.

In terms of a museum collection, DRAW is as unique and original as its creators and participants. Each subsequent showing brings a further exploration and definition of what a drawing is and what purpose it serves. Our material world is built on drawings. From the great masterpieces to the world's iconic buildings, it's cars, fashion and the simple tools we use in our daily life were for the most part conceived and developed from a simple sketch. Before there was word, there was the drawing.

DRAW is curated by Erik Foss and Curse Mackey with guest curators Tim Barber, Miguel Calderon, Joseph Ian Henrikson, Lisa Lebofsky, Jacaeber Kastor, Justin Giarla, Jamie O’Shea, Matt Campbell, Damian Weinkrantz, Les Barany, Sto, D* Face, Jonathan Levine, Tony Cox.

Ancient and Accepted: Freemasons Temple in Washington DC

Building by John Russell Pope

inspired by the Mausoleum Of Halicarnassus

Inside the building I found coiling golden snakes,

more sphinxes and hieroglyphics, busts of Pythagoras 

and Homer, nine foot thick walls that hold human remains,

zoroastrian book Zend Avesta, the funaral bible of

G.Washington, the death mask of A.Lincoln and 

other intriguing geometries.

Look at all the pics here:
