Shahzia Sikander is included in the exhibition Marking Language at Drawing Room, London opening in October 2013. Marking Language is the first collaborative project between Drawing Room, London and Drawing Center, New York, and both galleries will present parallel exhibitions that explore the relationship between linguistic communication and drawing in recent art.
The selected artists take language and the written word as the subject of the work itself, rather than to influence interpretation of an accompanying image. Together the two exhibitions present an international selection of artists from the United Kingdom, Belgium, Colombia, Greece, Lebanon, Norway, Sweden, Argentina and the United States. Collectively these artists demonstrate an inventive use of words and text, creating works that are visually rich and that evoke multiple meanings. Artists included in show at Drawing Room, London are: Pavel Büchler, Johanna Calle, Annabel Daou, Matias Faldbakken, Karl Holmqvist, Bernardo Ortiz, Shahzia Sikander.
