DRAWING SCREEN (2006)

Drawing should not evidently be confused with the sketch or pre-sketch for a final- autonomous work- product (sculpture, painting, architectural); it rather constitutes a particular medium of considerable autonomy in regard to others. This exhibition, presents drawing or other works on drawing –such as video- in categories, by juxtaposing symmetrical entities (screen and fold, trace and vector, letter and outline). It suggests an understanding of drawing beyond its narrative characteristics or means of representation. In doing so, it does not constitute simply a visual essay on what ultimately «drawing» is, but explores what «drawing» can offer to the way we receive reality. Particularly, an exhibition with younger artists from Greece, a local scene which focuses especially on this medium offers possibilities to critically examine its capacities.
