Tegnebiennale 1 & 2
The Oslo Drawing Biennial is an international series of events on contemporary drawing, and took place in the Momentum Kunsthall Moss, Norway. The exhibition brought together artists from Scandinavian countries and international artists whose research had a particular focus on drawing: how practice can question the conditions of society and whether drawings can be used as part of political discussion. Mackintosh was the only representative from the UK.
His drawings were included as part of the international section of the exhibition, Inserting Lines. He saw this as an opportunity to consider how the development of his work through animation and innovative methods of presentation using sound, could be contextualised further as central to an international debate around experimental drawing.
The biennial programme included a conference on Drawing as Contemporary Practice and a paper, in the accompanying publication, about Mackintosh’s work by international curator Susanne Altman. She discussed the issue of how his practice examined the introduction of linear narrative format into works of art and its impact on established drawing methodologies.
