Drawing Week 4 State

Our understanding of drawing is imprecise, indefinite and nonlinear.  Even so, I try to find an appropriate definition for drawing - one that pleases me - by comparing it to some unrelated concepts. 

For me, searching for a definition for drawing is similar to drawing itself and I believe that today’s contemporary drawing is a “state.” An area that by redefining itself, becomes revolutionary and passionate and in its appearance, too, there are limited common traits.  The main objection to such definitions is that they are general to the extent that they can encompass unlimited number of concepts within their framework.  But in my ideal definition: drawing defined as research; it is not only the inner aspects of the work which embrace it within the cliché definition of drawing but certain aspects of its manner as well.  

“State” is an exhibition of works by artists who have paused and paid attention to drawing.  This attempt to portray the body of drawing through these works of drawings alongside one another, not only conveys a persecutive to the audience but more importantly, makes the symbolic image, the metaphor of the idea - under the title of drawing more apparent and comprehensible for myself. 

Drawing is still open to discussion.  Maybe it’s best to say that it will be alway be left open as being open to interpretation is one of its characteristics.
