Landscape in Line is an exhibition devised by visual artist and curator Ian Wieczorek that invites people to contribute their drawings to make up a collective, joined up landscape drawing. Drawing is one of the fundamental human creative activities, one that can be traced back both thousands of years in human history and also to early years of childhood development. In a fashion reminiscent of the Surrealist-devised method of Exquisite Corpse/cadavre exquis (where artists contribute in sequence to a collaborative drawing without reference to what had already been drawn or written), Landscape In Line presents a joined up ‘ribbon’ landscape made up from individual A5 format drawings submitted as part of an open callout. Playful, inventive and engaging, Landscape in Line is ultimately a celebration of the act of drawing.
