Crossing the line

Conferences, symposium, exhibitions

The central notion of Crossing the Line emphasizes the act and the idea of drawing as, on one hand, the setting of clear boundaries defining symbolic and material entities within a representational field and representational practices, while at the same time stressing the relational nature of all formalizing processes and constructs, of meaning making and communicative processes in general.

Crossing the line #2

‘On location’ - Dubai & Melbourne
Students of RAP and American University of Dubai

The exhibition ‘Location’ brought together artists and designers who were either living or working in the Middle East, or who asked to choose a work related to their own ‘location’ – psychologically, physically or emotionally. Some explored physiognomy, texts related to belief, material, fluidity, geopatterning, voice and poetry, architecture, intimate spaces, drawing machines, nature, diaries, fine ink worlds, mythologies and print. These works were exhibited for the ‘Crossing the Line 2’ conference in Dubai, UAE, during September 2014 at the Jam Jar galleries, and subsequently at gallery Langford120 in Melbourne, Australia during December 2014.
