Join Writespace as we explore the ethereal exhibition Out of Thin Air

We will begin the morning with architectual contemptation at the Drawing Institute’s Rock Garden and head into the gallery at 11 am. Say Hi to Seneca at the desk as you come in, and be prepared for subtle majesty.

Out of Thin Air: Emerging Forms examines drawing as a meditative process that invites the gradual appearance of indeterminate images. Selected from the Menil’s permanent collection, this display of artworks dating from the late 1930s to the present share a visual language of emerging forms. Not fully resolved or strictly defined, the works in this exhibition are open, suggestive images that seem as though they are still in the process of becoming.

Artists represented include Lee Bontecou, John Cage, Gustavo Díaz, Hiroyuki Doi, Sonia Gechtoff, Alan Saret, and Hedda Sterne, among others.

On view for the first time at the Menil are a group of drawings by the American artist Gregory Masurovsky (1929-2009), whose delicate marks coalesce into transient swarms, vibrations, or cloud formations on the verge of materializing.

Consider the artworks in this exhibition as portals, each its own point of entry to personal reflection. Notice how mindful looking can be an introspective, even revelatory encounter, one that parallels the act of drawing.

Accessibility: The Menil Drawing Institute is fully handicap accessible.
