Drawing toward plurality <symbol, organic matter, machine>

The exhibition "Drawings - Plurality" will be held by Hiraku Suzuki / Goro Murayama / Yantou, with the theme of the fundamental question of "What is drawing?"
The verb Draw, as pointed out by Tim Ingold, a social anthropologist who explores Lines, originally refers to the actions of hands such as "manipulation of thread" and "engraving of trajectory". From prehistoric cave murals to contemporary art, the drawing act of creating new lines and finding the trajectory of lines for humanity continues as universal and diverse.
In addition, especially in Western Europe since the 2000s, drawing has been redefined and re-evaluated, and now it goes beyond simply the meaning of drafting or drawing on paper, and itself is becoming mature as a contemporary drawing art genre.
The activities of specialized museums such as The Drawing Center in the United States and Drawing Room in the United Kingdom have become active, holding exhibitions, publishing various books, and many art fairs specializing in drawing have been held in various places.
It can be said that the Japanese scene still lacks continuity with such trends in Europe and the United States.
However, there is also a growing number of artists who express new drawings based on their sensitivity to natural lines rooted in the Orient and cultural backgrounds such as the mix of high art and streets.
This time, we will introduce three artists who face the possibilities of drawing with a radical approach in modern Japan, taking into account these times.
What meanings and senses do we find from the practice of the three artists who create their own lines in places that have escaped from human-centeredism during this space age living together with the pandemic?
