Salon du Dessin Contemporain

March 26 through March 29, 2009 at the Carreau du Temple

By bringing together 63 galleries in Paris, from France and from abroad, and presenting the most varied selection of works possible, this third edition of the Contemporary drawing fair wishes to proclaim and lend its signature to the power of drawing and its magic of invention.

If “Art is what makes life more interesting than art”, according to Robert Filliou’s troubling expression, one might also ask oneself what makes contemporary drawing so alive; Health aside, does making smoke rings in the air with a cigarette count as drawing - the resulting cloud giving rise, as it does, to an illusion, an outline of shape or form?
