'Vibrations in Australian Drawing' is an exhibition demonstrating the essence of the practice and the importance of drawing underlying a range of disciplines. Vibrations that elicit a kinetic force that underlies the action of drawing with diverse energy flows, where the fusion of technique and idea takes shape. The exhibition examines the materiality and manifestations of drawing that constitute its essence. It reveals the importance of drawing as a transformative, interactive element within a range of multi-disciplinary practices. The display features the artworks of both contemporary artists and artists from the last 100 years of Australian art history.
