Beautifully bound and illustrated catalogue for the Institute exhibition Alan Johnston Drawing a Shadow: No Object, 18 February - 2 May 2010.
Alan Johnston was invited to use the the Institute's white walls as a blank sheet of paper on which to base his drawing. Arriving in Leeds a month before his show opened, he divided the main galleries up into unequal frames, drawing directly with a pencil onto the walls in strips covering an area of about 2 square cm. Navigating the corners, recesses and architraves; the space which is left is equally as important as the space that he fills in; constantly measuring the shape in space, he makes sculpture out of architecture.
Introduction by Penelope Curtis. Essay texts, A Reflective Geometry by Gavin Morrison and A Screen Before One's Eyes by Charles Esche.
