On over 1,400 m² space our overview exhibition The More I Draw in the Museum of
Contemporary Art Siegen
highlights the tendencies in contemporary art drawing since the 1960s, focusing
on the serial, narrative, descriptive,
and mythologizing forms.
The exhibition showcases 41 international artists and aims at revealing the
definitive role drawing plays in modern
art, a role that was conceived by Conceptual Art, which discovered drawing as
an original art medium and to a large
extent helped to revaluate it through its conceptual traits.
Well-known artists' approaches are shown in an historical retrospective, such
as by Joseph Beuys, Frédéric Bruly
Bouabré or Cy Twombly, but also other important illustrators of the following
generation, for example Anna Oppermann or
Tomas Schmit, among others. A focal point of the exhibition is the actual
practice of drawing, visualized by extensive
groupings of works and drawing installations by contemporary artists such as
Jorinde Voigt, Dan Perjovschi, or Alexander
Roob, artists who have expanded drawing as an art form experimentally and
through performance.
The artists of the exhibition (in chronological order):
Joseph Beuys, Frédéric Bruly Bouabré, Cy Twombly, Gerhard Rühm, André Thomkins,
Stanley Brouwn, Anna Oppermann,
Hanne Darboven, Katharina Meldner, Tomas Schmit, Barbara Camilla Tucholski,
Heinz Emigholz, Anne-Mie van Kerckhoven,
Nanne Meyer, Peter Radelfinger, Silvia Bächli, Harald Falkenhagen, Joseph
Grigely, Alexander Roob, Raymond Pettibon,
Nedko Solakov, Mark Lammert, Dan Perjovschi, Johnny Miller, Dorothea Schulz,
Tracey Emin, Claude Heath, Pia Linz, Hannes
Kater, Pavel Pepperstein, Sandra Vásquez de la Horra, David Shrigley, Chloë
Piene, Ryõko Aoki, Christelle Franc,
Katrin Ströbel, Ralf Ziervogel, Constantin Luser, Dasha Shishkin, Jorinde Voigt
and Mariusz Tarkawian.
An extensive catalogue is available. The catalogue includes an introductory
essay by Eva Schmidt and an article by
Michel Sauer, next to expositions on the artists and a commentated index by
Jan-Philipp Fruehsorge on exhibitions,
blogs, publications, etc. that are dedicated to drawing as a medium. Publisher:
DuMont Buchverlag, Cologne.
The exhibition and the accompanying program have been supported generously by:
The Governor of the State of NRW, the NRW Art Foundation, the Federal Art
Foundation, Pro Helvetia, the Swiss Art
Foundation, the Sparkasse Siegen, and the Museum's Circle of Friends. The
