After Line, Before Form: Exhibition Tour

After Line, Before Form Exhibition Tour at UIMA, Tuesday, December 9, 1:40 - 2:40 pm. The event is free and open to the public. Please RSVP.

After Line, Before Form explores the moment when a point becomes a line, and a line transforms into a shape, tracing the liminal spaces between them and the threshold where line gives rise to form – where movement and perception bring form into being. Featuring works by artists from Ukraine, the Ukrainian diaspora, and other international contexts, the exhibition considers geometry as both a physical structure and an imaginative order. Across painting, print, and sculpture, the exhibition reflects on how line and form engage one another to create depth, rhythm and meaning – revealing abstraction as an intuitive dialogue between imagination and reality.

Each artist interprets line and form in distinct ways, inviting viewers to encounter the varied possibilities of the liminal space and the shifting boundaries that separate – and connect – line and shape.

After Line, Before Form is curated by Students from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago's Curatorial Practicum Class. The course is led by UIMA's Curator, Adrienne Kochman, PhD, Lecturer in the Department of Art History, Theory & Criticism at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago.
