Global Drawing Exhibition: artworks from Instituto de Artes, Universidade de Campinas - UNICAMP, Brazil






ITINERARIES
.
"The drawings here presented are from graduate students of the Visual Arts Department of the Instituto de Artes (Art Institute) of the Universidade de Campinas - UNICAMP (Brazil).  Besides pursuing their doctoral degrees in Studio Art, many of these young artists, coming from different regions of the country, have already started their professional careers with solo shows, gallery representation and also as university teachers in different art departments.  For each of these artists, the practice of drawing is in significant aspects an exploration of the relationships between drawing as process and product and different media such as: installation, sculpture, photography, book art, printmaking, digital art, etc. Drawing as an art form becomes a kind of mediating center, a type of lingua franca, a “general language” translating and being translated within the larger universe of artistic forms."  

Marcelo Guimarães Lima

Drawing the Global - Marcelo Guimaraes Lima


.



"The Global Drawing project, linking young artists in the globalized space of communications today,  rather than a simple inventory of current practices, it is such a cartography: it maps new developments here and now,  and the simultaneous openings of new routes resulting from the larger view of the territories of the present. To draw is to situate oneself in space and time. Art gives form to experience, and in doing so it allows artists and viewers to establish a dialogue with time itself, a dialogue made of both memory and anticipation. It allows us to expand our understanding of the many dimensions of our times and spaces, and to locate ourselves within the territories of the past, the present and the future. " READ MORE
