One-Line Drawing, a group exhibition, will open at Ubu Gallery on July 8th and run through July 31st. Each of the 40 artists in the exhibition has created an artwork based on a directive from the gallery limiting the finished work to one uninterrupted action in the medium of the artist’s choice. About half of the exhibition, which originally consisted of Dutch and German artists, was installed earlier this year at Parade Gallery in Amsterdam. Ubu Gallery has added the work of numerous American artists to complete the show.

The exhibition emphasizes the innate heterogeneity of contemporary artists. It posits the notion that artists, when challenged by rigid and specific pre-determined boundaries, will be inspired to produce works of art differing significantly from one another, thereby reinforcing our awareness of their individual visions and varied aesthetics.

Jenny Holzer, for instance, participates with a one-line LED text. Mel Bochner paints a single line on a canvas, Fred Sandback carves a one-line diptych in wood, and Carl André has mailed a one-line postcard addressed to Ubu Gallery. Joe Zito provides a rubbing from a cookie jar. Andy Goldsworthy has documented a line in the snow, Vik Muniz photographs an ambiguous one-line wire sculpture, and Helmut Löhr has painted a single, wide brushstroke over a Polaroid photograph taken from the window of his loft on the day he moved out.

Some of the other Americans participating in the show are: Arman, Louise Bourgeois, Buster Cleveland, Sol LeWitt, Richard Long, Robert Mangold, Tom Sachs, and Yoko Ono. Among the Dutch artists are Maria van Elk, Alphons Freijmuth, Reinier Lucassen, Mai van Oers, and Andre Roiter.
