The essays are organised into five key sections: Definition; Transmission; Application; Representation; and “All Writing is Drawing”, an exhibition remit for artists in Australia and the UK.
Following the publication of Contemporary Australian Drawing (2012),1 the 80 artists in the book were invited by Dr Irene Barberis (RMIT/Metasenta) to create works for an exhibition that would travel to London (UAL) for Drawing Out 2012. Artists were invited to respond to two statements by French writers Michel Butor and Serge Tisseron, that: “All writing is drawing” and “The space of writing, what is that?”
