The boundaries between drawing
and other art forms has always been blurred; when does the outline become the painting,
the graph become the blueprint, the line become the work?
As a means of communication and
navigation, drawing has taken on a universality and accessibility unlike any
other medium. It is a building block of creativity, key to the visualisation and
translation of ideas and practices, fundamental in making, doing, testing,
failing, designing, thinking, playing and living.
Drawing has taken on different
definitions across the centuries, crossing spatial and theoretical boundaries,
creating signposts that act as intersections between disciplines as diverse as
typography and photography. Drawing allows us to analyse, record, map, mark and
form, making the abstract legible, and the legible oblique. Its history is
inscribed with legibility as it skirts around the boundaries of text and image.
It can be either a representation, or an expression, creating shadows and
memories, marks and imprints, traces in space.
Drawn 2013 aims to raise the profile of drawing, exploring it as both an
autonomous discipline and an interdisciplinary tool. The exhibition pushes the
parameters of drawing by exploring the parallel language of multiple
disciplines.
Submissions are invited from
artists who either draw, or explore the concept of drawing in their work,
including: illustrators, videographers, sculptors, printers, embroiderers,
typographers, animators and architects etc.
Artists are encouraged to use
both wall and floor space utilising both traditional and experimental
techniques and technologies, exploring the boundaries of drawing.
