Drawing Discourse (1)

Sorrowful World (6): Abandoned Railway

I took the long way where there were mosquitoes, ants, and dragonflies. I had worn jeans to prevent insect bites. Further in, I walked past the graffiti-filled wall of the shallow tunnel and the tiny garden that had gone wild. I was at the abandoned railway of Teban Gardens. Where the grass ended, there was a path of sand and gravel. I knelt down and stared into the shallow tunnel. It was like an open mouth, a void. Then, I saw someone approaching from the other end. I realised I was not alone. It was a man, and he was carrying a camera. Perhaps, like me, he was here to capture a moment in time, a memory of what would soon be gone.

Sorrowful World (5): Drain Cover

Temporary Post

Tentatively, the proposal for Drawing Discourse is as follows:

The exhibition will be divided into two sections:
a) Actually Drawing and
b) Actually Discourse

Actually Drawing:
Drawings will be exhibited like an ordinary drawing exhibition, perhaps with some descriptive texts.

Actually Discourse:
Some drawings are exhibited with texts, xeroxed documents, books, and other paraphernalia, without which the discourse between the viewers and the drawings would be incomplete or inaccurate.

The focus of the exhibition would be on the discourse section rather than the drawing section.

1. Three great artists - Duchamp, Tapies, and Huang Binhong - meet at a drain cover overgrown with weeds. (The Drain Cover Discourse)

2. A joss burner, a pile of firewood, and a wall are linked to Dogen, Ozu, and Sengai. (The Circle-Triangle-Square Discourse)

3. A black and white image of an open grave which looks like a photograph is actually a drawing. (The Open Grave Discourse)
