Haydens presents Characters, a group exhibition featuring a selection of Australia’s leading conceptual drawing practitioners.

Traversing diverse themes such as automatism, connectivity, performativity, and translation, Characters visualises ideas as material. Taking form in a variety of mediums, these drawn works embody the artist in a fixed point in time. What we see is a trace, or an artifact of a specific culmination of events, and in some cases the act of interpreting this residue is the focus of interest. What is seen is the result of a sustained engagement in drawing as a method of communicating beyond language.

Exhibited artists include Mira Gojak, Agatha Gothe-Snape, Julie Irving, Amalia Lindo, Kerrie Poliness, and Mia Salsjö.

Opening Event: Saturday 6 April, 6 – 8pm.
