Organized in response to Sol LeWitt's 1971 Wall Drawing #118, which was conceived and installed at SMFA that year, "Something Along Those Lines," is a dynamic group exhibition featuring nine modern and contemporary artists who blend conceptual, sculptural and performative engagements with the formal elements of drawing: Adel Abdessemed, Ann Carlson + Mary Ellen Strom, Carlos Cruz-Diez, Gego, Felix Gonzalez-Torres, LeWitt, Bruce Nauman, Fred Sandback and Lawrence Weiner.

"As members of the community, we have been affected by various problems that our society is facing: loneliness, homelessness, forced migration, famine, water scarcity, climate and change. And as artists, we develop poetic strategies in an attempt to address these issues. Like Joseph Beuys, we support the idea that art can act as a catalyst for social change. Together we believe that the creative potential of every individual no longer needs to be proven, it needs to be fully recognized and converted into initiatives that will engage a wider range of community members, whether they are street sellers, passers-by, scientists, museum curators or visitors." –Lucy and Jorge Orta, from an interview with Valerie Knochel Abecassis
