FIRST LOOK: SURVEY OF DRAWINGS FROM THE POWERHOUSE COLLECTION

Powerhouse has today unveiled A Line, A Web, A World, the first in-depth survey of drawings from the museum’s collection. The new exhibition features 230 drawings by artists, designers, architects, musicians, engineers, scientists, and students. It embraces the democratic nature of drawing as a universal tool for communication and its unique ability to bring imagination and new ideas to life. One of the oldest forms of human expression, this exhibition of rarely seen drawings examines the integral role of drawing across different disciplines and cultures, from historical to new contemporary works, and considers the question of why we draw.
