Joshua Neustein made the sixteen drawings in this exhibition by attaching magnetic strips to sheets of paper and then scattering iron filings across the papers’ reverse sides. The filings adhere to the strips, which function as hidden compositional templates. By aligning his practice with magnetism—a force that even seasoned scientists find uncanny and wondrous—Neustein dismisses the traditional equation of drawing with authorial gesture, while emphasizing the transitory associations of the medium. Inherently fragile, the forces suspending the paper between the magnets and filings gradually dissipate; from the moment of their enactment, the “Magnetic Drawings” are precarious manifestations of entropic dispersal.
