.One prevailing Modernist concept of the artist
and artistic work involves the conviction that
art is first and foremost in the service of the
artist's own expression. Contemporary art
often plays the role of trickster, healer, or
alchemist, helping us observe and consider our
world, beliefs, and daily lives in fundamentally
new ways. Artworks that sneak up on us and
surprise us may be able to do so because they are
in disguise. Drawing Outside the Lines catalog
