Popopstudios International Center for the Visual Arts presents ‘Because Drawing Round Squares Takes Practice’, a collaborative exhibition by Bahamian artists Heino Schmid and Tessa Whitehead.<\/p>\n

With the work being produced directly in the gallery space, the conversation between artist and material has yielded a methodology where the work exists as a cumulative presentation. At once a sculpture, installation and drawing, Schmid and Whitehead have substituted wooden beams, nails, concrete and rope for a pencil.<\/p>\n

A description rather than a definition, the work articulates more presence than effacement, and certitude than experiment. The once purposeful material is now read as a mark. A synonym for the accumulation in the Bahamian landscape, familiar objects are re-identified but not redefined.<\/p>\n
