Join us as for a performance by John Lyall in response to his ten drawings featured in Select > Effect > Export. The performance will be followed by an artist's floor talk with refreshments provided.

It is thirty years since Lyall began this painstakingly detailed body of drawings. Lyall constructed ten detailed mazes by hand that numerically reveal the order in which they have been created. He states, 'I was interested in the idea of turning myself into a machine to subvert my every natural instinct in art making. The works are everything I'm not to the nth degree'.

First performed in Sarajevo, Lyall's politically layered performance attempts to come to terms with a lost technology in the drawings and the time that has passed since they were created.
