As a response to the ubiquity of drawing in contemporary
consciousness and a corresponding dearth of critical engagement
with the medium, these collected essays provide original
interpretations of artists' drawing today. Questions of process,
politics, scale, and community raised in the work of the diverse
group of artists are situated within the historic discourse on
drawing and demonstrate the extent to which contemporary practice
challenges previous definitions of the medium. From the
room-encompassing drawings of Monika Grzymala and Barbara Bernstein
or Sophie Calle's expansive exploration of the Jerusalem eruv to
Andrea Bowers's graphite renditions of protest to Ellsworth Kelly's
proposal for a memorial to September 11, the essays explore the
implications of drawings' departure from the confines of a sheet of
paper. Essential reading for both the academic and general
audience, this book provides in-depth discussions of artists and
projects that have never been treated in a sustained, analytical
way; each essay will interest the wider contemporary art audience,
as well as students of drawing. Taken as a whole, the volume
represents a pertinent and stimulating engagement with issues of
paramount importance to our understanding of contemporary art and
its place in museums, galleries, and the public sphere.
