Extended Drawing

Extended Drawing apresenta obras dos artistas Sol LeWitt, Robert Mangold, Bruce Nauman e Richard Serra. Em exibição no Bonnefantenmuseum, em Maastricht, Holanda, até 15.01.12. A linha e o desenho em grande destaque, ultrapassando as fronteiras da sua clássica capacidade. Os quatro artistas convidados têm utilizado o desenho como forma de transcender as limitações dos valores tradicionais, de encontro a uma universalidade merecida. 

“When words such as painting and sculpture are used, they connote a whole tradition and imply a consequent acceptance of this tradition, thus placing limitations on the artist who would be reluctant to make art that goes beyond the limitations.” Sol LeWitt. Sentences on Conceptual Art, Nr. 8, first published in 0-9 (New York), 1969, and Art-Language (England), May 1969

“I have wondered why the drawing connection has not been brought up in terms of my work, they are as much drawings as paintings”.  Robert Mangold to Alexander van Grevenstein 06.01.2011

“There is no way to make a drawing – there is only drawing”.  

Richard Serra 1977

“I still get tired of working on one idea, in one medium, for too extended a period and, in that sense, I divert myself by moving to something else. ” Brenda Richardson, Bruce Nauman Neons, Baltimore Museum of Art,1982, p. 29.
