Jordan McKenzie’s work is not concerned with presenting drawings as finished works of art but rather as processes, bodily acts exploring the sensuous language of gesture. The artist will create the works at Spacex the week before the exhibition opens, drawing directly on to the walls and floor and temporarily altering the physical space of the gallery.
The title of the exhibition makes reference to Leonardo Da Vinci’s Vitruvian man: an image of man whereby the body is reduced to a set of ‘universal’ and ‘perfect’ measured dimensions. All the works in the exhibition use the measurement of the artist’s own body to create a group of drawings that explore the notion of drawing as a performative act.
Jordan McKenzie has exhibited nationally and internationally for over twelve years, presenting work at BALTIC, Ikon Gallery, Arnolfini and ICA.
The exhibition showcases new commissioned work for Spacex. Supported by Mackenzie Glass.
