On the occasion of the 8th Biennial of Drawing, the Kunstmuseum Erlangen is taking a look at its own graphic art collection: classics from the Franconian and Upper Palatinate art scene after 1945 are represented there as well as contemporary positions. On the one hand, the exhibition presents traditional drawing techniques on paper, for example with pencil or charcoal. On the other hand, it shows more unusual variants of drawing as well as areas of the graphic arts related to drawing. The possibilities of individual media become just as apparent as their overlaps and contrasts.
With works that can only be associated with drawing at second glance, the concept of what drawing can be today will be put to the test. By pointing out the linearity, the reduction of color or the manual nature of drawing, other media can enter into a dialogue with the exhibited drawings. In this way, the exhibition extends its scope of observation into areas such as photography and textile art.
