‘You put this here and set off small chords, echoes and repeats and caesuras… to find those moments when… the cadences keep going’. Letters to Camondo, Edmund de Waal[i].

DE LEÓN is pleased to present a group exhibition of work by Anna Barriball, Heidi Bucher, Tom Chamberlain, Andreas Eriksson, Richard Forster, Jonathan Owen, Christine Rebet, and Tomás Saraceno.

The exhibition explores the practice, as well as the idea of drawing in its broadest sense - marks made in space over time using different media including pencil, ink and watercolour on paper, collage, thread, wax, spiders’ webs and film. Read more >
