LONELY AT THE TOP: Graphology Chapter 4
MUHKA, Antwerp, 08.26 - 09.25 2011
Curator: Edwin Carels

With works by Juliana Borinski, Marcel Broodthaers, Morgan Fisher, Nikolaus Gansterer, Sandra Gibson / Luis Recoder, Wim Janssen, Louis & Auguste Lumière, Jan Evangelista Purkyně, Man Ray, Dominique Somers.

In four episodes, Graphology explores the automatisms that may show themselves in drawing. The human hand as a seismograph of the inner life, but also, conversely, the ‘mechanical unconsciousness’ of the machine that thrusts itself on the human eye. Printed reproduction techniques lead a life of their own, but how?
A series of exhibitions set at the intersection of drawing, photography, printmaking, film and computer graphics.
The fourth episode interprets the cinématographe, as patented by the brothers Lumière, in the most litteral sense: as a graphical method to (re-)produce, a writing of fragmented light images, a play of analysis and synthesis.

This is the last episode of Graphology. The series will be shown in the Drawing Room London in May 2012.
