After months of conversations, many trips, love and pure generosity, A Rather be A-line exists again in the space of Shmorevaz, an old shoe shop turned into a hybrid gallery where all sorts of connections transform the space every time some- one new sets foot in it.

What you see here is an ensemble of works guided by the playfulness and lightness of drawing, and an in-situ installation that was built with the in- tention of providing a subtle landscape where the works could breath, live, and rest. A rather be A-line highlights a broad conception of drawing gathering sculpture, drawing and painting while registering a specific group of artists whose different practices use materials such as nylon, metal, paper maché, paper, brass, mirrors, paint, fabric, draw- ings, and ceramic come together.

Dismissing all sense of linearity, and as a statement of pure belonging, A Rather be A-line apprehends this practice as a process, recognising both the established and supposed potential of this art form, as well as those that can still be revealed through experimentation and curiosity.
