Jordan McKenzie’s work explores drawing and other processes of mark making in relation to the human body.
On the opening night, Jordan McKenzie will set out on a 4-hour performance, At Arms Length. Taking place across Exeter, it involves the artist manoeuvring a cube the length of his arm and drawing upon the surfaces with graphite. It starts from Exeter Cathedral Yard and the audience can follow the artist on his route to reach the final destination at Spacex and attend the preview of his exhibition. The cube will reside at Spacex for the duration of the exhibition as a trace of the action that took place.
The exhibition showcases newly commissioned work for Spacex, alongside existing pieces exploring drawing, performance and the process of mapping the body within an architectural space.
