The Power of Line. The 2008 summer exhibition of international contemporary artists has drawing at the centre of its artistic performance and visual perception. Drawing - often preceded by a rough sketch- is, like writing, closely related to the inspiration of thinking, and thus belongs to the most direct and spontaneous forms of artistic expression. Among the artists: William Forsythe, Marcel Gahler, Oliver Grajewski, Johannes Hewel, William Kentridge, Julian Opie and many others.
8th Summer of Culture and Art
The 2008 summer exhibition of international contemporary artists has drawing at the centre of its artistic performance and visual perception. Drawing – often preceded by a rough sketch- is, like writing, closely related to the inspiration of thinking, and thus belongs to the most direct and spontaneous forms of artistic expression. “What cannot be said, must be drawn” is our paraphrase of Ludwig Wittgenstein’s famous philosophical maxim. Influenced by new media and expanding concepts of art, drawing is opening new horizons. But the latter are still bound together by the power of the drawn line.
