Drawing Typologies – Proposal for Municipal Art Acquisitions Drawings
Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam – 2007
The exhibition uses five typologies to suggest the wide variety of ways in which artists use drawing as an artistic strategy. Over recent decades, drawing – unlike painting – has constantly been declared alive and well. This exhibition demonstrates the relevance of the medium to many artists, including those who normally work in other media. Many of the artists in it are primarily active in other artistic disciplines but make excursions into the field of drawing. The extraordinary cross-fertilisation that results has expanded the definition of drawing to include forms previously inconceivable.
