Even though the practice of drawing is an essential component of their projects, Lucy and Jorge Orta have never shown the complete process of their creation. However, throughout its development, their drawings not only witness an original idea and its metamorphosis until it emerges in a given physical form, but also feed the reflection and evolution of the project. The idea is to activate their drawings and explore the creative development as a work in its own, a moving, changing, evolving, emerging work. The exhibition project consists in transposing the workshop (laboratory of ideas) into the Drawing Lab, which becomes the Orta’s temporary laboratory.
Accompanying the exhibition is a catalog featuring essays by Christine Paul, Blandine Roselle, and Samuel Lequette.
