FVU-commissioned work Undead Sun (2014) by Jane & Louise Wilson features as part of a new exhibition, 'Lines of Action', at Hatton Gallery, Newcastle University.
About the exhibition
The exhibition explores how artists utilise the ‘line’ in its most expanded sense as a central part of their creative process. Rather than focusing solely on preparatory sketches, this exhibition examines the ‘line’ as an organising principle. It highlights how artists use the line to provide structure, create ‘scores’ for subsequent works, record actions, and open spaces for memory.
The featured works demonstrate how an artist’s ‘line’ can organise time, thought, and space. These concepts are explored through a diverse range of media, including photography, painting, collage, printmaking, film, and sculpture. 'Lines of Action' also features storyboards and preparatory drawings made by Georgina Starr for her FVU-commissioned film Quarantaine (2020).
Other artists exhibiting include: Rita Donagh, Wolfgang Weileder and many others.
