Opening 23 May 2026
Draw Withdraw Redraw, a group exhibition featuring work by AYO, Bani Abidi, Cinthia Marcelle, Felipe Mujica, Misheck Masamvu, Nohemi Perez, and Thierry Oussou.
To draw, drawing from, drawing with, drawn to, to being drawn in, a draw–returning to the drawing board as a space to rethink and make new plans for a desired waywardness.
Drawing to leave a mark on paper, on fabric, on the ground […] drawing to create movement [...] drawing to extract [...] drawing in the game of chance [...] drawing to neither lose nor win [...] Departing from the extended sense of drawing, Draw Withdraw Redraw foregrounds recognition, resistance, and reinvention.
To draw withdraw redraw situates us in a state of ongoingness, returning to the same that is not the same. Movement seeks flight without yearning to land. There is constant negotiation, chance-taking and self-preservation, because we never left drawing… because drawing is where we can always pull from…To draw, drawing from, drawing with, drawn to, to being drawn in, a draw.
