Chicago based artist Deirdre Fox's drawing and drawing based installation starts with drawing ideas and conventions and extends drawing from wall and surface into real and virtual space.  She looks at employing conventions and expectations of one medium in other mediums.

A whole is made up of parts and the same parts can be summed to different wholes.

As well, there is a difference between limitations of the observer in perceiving or the impact of the observer on what is observed, measured and understood, and the question of relativity without standards verses the existence of a backdrop reality that accepts simultaneity or verses a relativity of interaction in which cause and effect remain in the interaction.  

I tread the in-between metaphorically and visually, in between 2D and 3D, static and motion, abstract and representation, conscious and subconscious, while simultaneously capturing the continuum."

At Finestra Art Space,

410 S. Michigan Ave., Suite 516

Chicago, IL 60605

August 3- 29, 2008

Form:  With glass windows on two sides, Finestra Art Space, resembles a museum display case, in which the artist redeploys artifact based sculptural “drawings” by relocating elements from sculptural “drawings” that existed in other physical contexts.
 
Concept:  The elements of the artist’s sculptural drawings interpret artifacts.  Numbered pins/labels accompanying the sculptural drawings set an expectation of meaningful classification, which disordering the pins to varying degrees up through randomizing them, tends to upend.
 
Context:  The artist questions our relationship to museum display and to interpretation by, unlike many true museum cases, containing the viewers who choose to breach the space as well as “objects” deployed from other contexts, challenging us to engage how context and objects integrate into interpretations presented to viewers.
