This exhibition prizes the heterogeneous phenomenon of the drawing as a practice of genres differences, highlighting contact surfaces, through variants and variations, which articulates with other media. Whether it’s about writing or notation, lyricism or narration, sign or (de)sign, all pursuits are confined under the auspices of this momentum, but only to highlight a viable media, perhaps the most viable, ought to its unique offer of creative flexibility.
For all these artists, drawing is more than a necessary tool at hand. Clear, direct and concise significance remains a defining trait that bleeds-through their pursuit, leaving, in the same time, space for the difficulty expressing distance between impulse and making.
With Richard Serra’s words … there is no way to make a drawing – there is only drawing … His thought clearly establishes the active dimension of drawing. The movement that originates in an impulse (conscious or not, ideological or formal) seems to be essential not only because of its spontaneous nature, but because it has a dose of awareness that makes it perceptible. It seems to be the most transparent environment from this point of view, unique as openness and potential of expression.
