Line Drawing

Poklong Anading’s project, Line Drawing, 2017 is a conceptual interrogation of the act of drawing. The artist recorded the repetitive action of a pencil marking lines on a white wall, as he walked back and forth from one end of the room to another. As layers of black lines built up on the wall, a “drawing” was created.  This canvas drawing is a relic of a 2017 performance, when the artist revisited his 1998 Line Drawing project.
