The question of what drawing is today — how it can be understood or redefined in the age of so-called post-media conditions — can be recognised as one of the most interesting discussions in art over the last 60 years. But, as much as the foundations of an understanding of drawing may have been shaken, room has been made for new perspectives and approaches.

To Draw a Line is an exhibition that pays tribute to these developments and takes a closer look at the changing status of drawing. It combines historic works with those of a younger generation of artists whose approaches to drawing expand the discipline into other forms of representation, revealing an increasing independence of the form. The works highlight the process of drawing as becoming a fundamental aspect of this artform, alongside historic and contemporary developments of minimalist and conceptual art positions, as well as non-western discourses.

Drawings, as seen in this exhibition, connect these different fields as rational calculation and subjective expression, concept and materiality; and point to its relationship to sculpture and architecture in ways that further open up discussions of the gesture and the act of drawing.
