Print Ready Drawings
Print Ready Drawings investigates the process behind printed images. The exhibition features prints and reproductions, exploring a history of architectural authorship not via singular authors but through an examination and display of the material supplies and techniques of drawing production. The exhibition includes a variety of production ephemera, technical manuals, and samples, alongside artist’s films that turned the camera inward towards the process itself, including Richard Serra’s Color-Aid film. Several drawings featured in the exhibition, considered too fragile to be exhibited, are replicated through a process of material and technical research in conservation labs, manufacturing workshops, eBay, and oral histories. This research and the copies are documented in films made by Julie Riley and Jenny Leavitt that interpret and translate historical materials and modes of making.
