Institute of Contemporary Arts – Laura Lima: The Drawing Drawing

Advance Booking Required

Exhibition Dates: 27 January – 29 March.

A major new exhibition by Brazilian multidisciplinary artist Laura Lima (b. 1971, Minas Gerais), marking her first solo show in London. ‘The Drawing Drawing’ unfolds across both Upper and Lower Galleries through a series of immersive installations combining sculpture, movement, live performance and public participation. At the centre of the exhibition, a new interactive sculptural installation of the same name reimagines the traditional framework of the life-drawing class.

Since the mid-90s, Lima has become recognised for her subversive artworks which explore the relationship between bodies and their environment, questioning social expectations and accepted hierarchies by staging live situations where people, objects and spaces interact in unconventional ways.
