黑料不打烊

The Seventh Biennale of Drawing in Israel, held under the auspices of and produced by the Jerusalem Artists鈥� House, has established its status as a unique and comprehensive artistic enterprise since 2001. Like previous editions, Traces VII is held at the Jerusalem Artists鈥� House and several other venues in the city center (Ticho House, The Jerusalem Print Workshop, and Barbur Gallery), which together unfold the state of drawing in Israel and various aspects associated with it. The scores of participating artists and hundreds of featured works come together to form a grand artistic celebration. Like all previous editions of Traces, the current exhibition sets out to map contemporary practice in the field of drawing in Israel; to outline directions and inclinations, while emphasizing the conceptual and thematic transformations that occurred in this dynamic鈥攖raditional, yet constantly renewing鈥攎edium in recent years; and to sustain a dialogue with the previous biennials.

"Traces VII 鈥� Action Line, the Seventh Biennale of Drawing", draws away from the conventional perception of drawing as a linear action unfolding on a two-dimensional support 鈥� usually paper. Instead, the exhibition seeks to manifest the power of drawing in a three-dimensional sphere, and to present specific aspects in the fields of sculpture, installation, performance and sound, which are nourished by a deep understanding of drawing while existing in three-dimensional space.
