Museum of Architecture in Wroclaw
12. December 2012 – 10th February 2013
Drawing is a spontaneous, intuitive recording of the artist’s emotions, grasping feelings in the process of making, when the emotions and their recording become one. The competition poses one fundamental question to artists, a question about trust for rudimentary artistic activities, about the meaning of drawing in their artistic practice. The diversity of autonomous artworks is the utmost value and at the same time the best evidence of drawing’s vitality. A gesture emerging from the chaos of emotions and signs, what is more, a gesture that initiates the ordering of the world.
The 5th International Drawing Competition Wrocław 2012 is organised by The Eugeniusz Geppert Academy of Art and Design in Wrocław, with sponsorship from the Ministry of Culture and National Heritage, The Government of the City of Wrocław and the Lower Silesia Marshal’s Office.The final exhibition is held in the halls of The Museum of Architecture in Wrocław from December 12, 2012 through February 10th, 2013. In the years 2013-2014 the exhibition will be displayed in prestigious galleries of Lower Silesia, Poland and abroad.
