Press release
The Institute of Contemporary Arts is delighted to present The Drawing Drawing, the first London solo exhibition by Brazilian multidisciplinary artist Laura Lima (b. 1971, Minas Gerais).
Marking a significant introduction of her work to UK audiences, the exhibition will unfold across the Upper and Lower Galleries in a series of installations involving sculpture, movement, live performers and public participation. At the heart of The Drawing Drawing will be a new interactive sculptural installation of the same name which 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.
