What’s My Line? Drawing as Experience
Presented by Edge Zones

Opening Reception: Saturday, May 2, 2–4 PM
Miami Beach Regional Library, 227 22nd St, Miami Beach, FL 33139
What’s My Line? Drawing as Experience brings together a group of artists who approach drawing not as a static image, but as a living act—an unfolding of thought, time, and perception. From monumental chalk figures to harmonic motion photographs, from continuous lines that never lift from the wall to data rendered as kinetic self-portrait, the exhibition expands drawing into gesture, sound, code, and space.
The artists included—Carola Bravo, Spencer Chang, Chris Friday, Richard Garet, Felice Grodin, Juraj Kojs, Pablo Matute, Ana Mosquera, Owen Roberts, Judith Robertson, Sterling Rook, Laurencia Strauss, Alba Tiana, Claudia Vieira, Tom Virgin, and Michelle Weinberg—span a wide range of disciplines and materials. What connects them is not style, but a shared openness: a willingness to let the line lead, to trust process, to follow the work into uncharted territory.
What’s My Line? Drawing as Experience brings together 16 artists whose work expands the idea of drawing beyond its conventional definitions. The exhibition examines drawing as a mode of thinking and investigation that can move across materials, technologies, and disciplines. Curator Dimitry Saïd Chamy brings together artists working with diverse media—including digital systems, code, sculptural processes, and hybrid forms—approaching drawing less as a fixed technique and more as a flexible framework for experimentation.
Rather than focusing on drawing as a specific visual language, the exhibition considers it as a foundational act: the impulse to mark, trace, construct, and test ideas through form. Within this broader understanding, drawing becomes a generative process that can unfold across surfaces, spaces, and technological environments.
The participating artists emphasize the process of image-making over predetermined content. Their works explore how forms emerge through iteration, systems, and exploratory gestures. In doing so, the exhibition highlights drawing as a field of inquiry where experimentation, structure, and discovery remain central.
The artists gathered here include both Miami-based and non–Miami-based practitioners. Many have long-standing ties to South Florida, while others participate from outside the region. The selection followed artistic practice rather than geography, creating a conversation between artists who share an interest in drawing as a method of inquiry across different contexts and locations.
Presented by Edge Zones at the Miami Beach Regional Library, the exhibition situates contemporary art within a public civic space while acknowledging Miami as an active site of cultural production. The exhibition invites audiences to encounter work shaped by multiple perspectives while remaining in dialogue with the city’s artistic community.
