Regionale 25. Expanded Drawings

Based on the crossover of media in contemporary art, drawing is examined through the lens of various techniques. The classic drawing media are joined by painting, watercolor, sculpture, ceramics, light and video. The boundaries of drawing are being blurred, no longer allowing for classification. The artists have appropriated drawing and thus the line, based on their methods and personal focus. They also examine the archaic nature of this medium, which coincides with the beginnings of human cultural history, such as in carved symbols or cave paintings, and reveal the line as the recording of transient movements in time and space. Many of the works in the exhibition have an explorative character and reflect the importance of experimentation and individual engagement with materials, processes and ideas.
