Drawing is the most primal form of artistic expression and is being paid attention to today more than ever before. As a global visual language it enables cross-cultural communications, ranging ranges from the immediate, improvisational movement to the complex image of the world, from the recording of individual experiences to the concept of reporting. The present volume unites significant groups of works by nineteen artists who live and work in Germany and understanding drawing as the primary focus of their artistic endeavours.These artists inquire about what drawing can achieve today as well as how it formulates and alters our perception of ourselves and the world. It motivates the reader to reexamine the signs of one's own culture by means of drawings. .Up-to-date survey of "contemporary drawing"List of artists: Irina Baschlakow, Marc Brandenburg, Monika Brandmeier, Fernando Bryce, Marcel van Eeden, Gerhard Faulhaber, Katharina Hinsberg, Pauline Kraneis, Pia Linz, Christiane Löhr, Theresa Lükenwerk, Nanne Meyer, Thomas Müller, Christian Pilz, Alexander Roob, Malte Spohr, German Stegmaier, Markus Vater, Jorinde Voigt und Ralf ZiervogelTexts: Volker Adolphs, Clemens KrümmelExhibition of the Institut für Auslandsbeziehungen at the Kunstmuseum Bonn, 10 February to 16 May 2010Links: www.kunstmuseum.bonn.dewww.ifa.de
