D MUSEUM is pleased to present a large-scale special exhibition entitled I draw from February 14 to September 1, 2019. Comprising over 350 works from various practices including drawing, illustration, object, animation, and installation by 16 internationally recognized artists noted for their unique interpretations, the exhibition features multiple aspects of drawing in our contemporary times.
The act of drawing has been applied throughout history not only to record or remember the various human conditions of different moments in times but also to visualize and express one’s ideas in a thoroughly original way.
This exhibition will delve into the diversity and modernity of the drawing practice by showcasing in an omnibus format the inspired thinking of the participating artists, who will spark the viewer’s curiosity by presenting familiar territory as new, heterotopia-style scenes or by describing the journey to one’s innermost self.
I draw offers a refreshing break from the flood of society’s digitally visualized images in the form of delicately subtle sensibilities not easily captured by the human eye or by cameras, together with extraordinary stories presented by the artists. Through this, the audience will imagine stories that go far beyond what is seen and experience them as new sensations―all while rediscovering the very simple yet very fabulous act of drawing.
