SG 29, 2007. Conté crayon, ink and gouache on paper, 10 x 7 in. by Ann Tarantino and Kate McGraw

20x200 artist Ann Tarantino recently collaborated with Kate McGraw for their upcoming show, Potential Energy. The duo has made works on paper that will be on view from September 13 - October 25, 2008 at the Curator's Office in Washington, DC.

From the press release:

Using techniques both planned and impromptu, and taking turns approaching the surface, each artist makes both marks that are familiar from her individual practice, and new ones that reference the other's. Containing all manner of marks and materials (varied hues of ink, washes of gouache, repeated gestures made with sharp pencil points, more delicate ones made with conté crayon), the works retain individual identities while also functioning as part of a larger whole. When viewed together, the "Potential Energy" series unfolds much like a book or a conversation-a narrative of exchange and negotiation, full of discussions, arguments, moments of pushing and pulling, and, finally, resting.

Images from the show can be viewed here on Kate's site.
