For many decades drawing has occupied a central position within artists' practices in Switzerland. If the medium was connected to a conceptual strain in the 1970s, it was its link with painting
and personal expression that made it a subject of many exhibitions in the 1980s. In the 1990s and the 2000s it both revived classic formats and developed through new techniques and spatial
possibilities. This publication, realized with the Mus歋e Jenisch in Vevey, an institution dedicated to the study and conservation of works on paper since the 2000s, attempts to map the new
contours of this medium in the 21st century, through the presentation of contributions by more than 40 artists and ten writers, all active in Switzerland. Exhibition: Mus歋e Rath, Geneva, 31
March - 15 August 2010.
