When I was invited to curate this show, I asked myself – can I give a brief answer to “What is drawing?” I tried but I couldn’t because there is always something left beyond the definitions. The show in fact resulted from my desire to prevent viewers to have a simple answer to the same question. The exhibition showcases drawing in its various guises – as a unique trace; as the vector of a movement; as the movement itself; as a thought-capturing line; or as a way to illustrate a narrative but also as the narration of its own creation. The drawing as a project as an imprint of a controlled gesture or as an autonomous action documented by the means of technology. All media, materials and ideas are allowed. Everything that is not ‘prohibited’ by the sentence “Let them draw”.
