Monday 22nd September - Friday 17th October 2008
In Ersilia, to establish the relationships that sustain the city’s life, the inhabitants stretch strings
from the corners of the houses, white or black or gray or black-and-white according to whether
they mark a relationship of blood, of trade, authority, agency.
When the strings become so numerous that you can no longer pass among them, the inhabitants
leave: the houses are dismantled; only the strings and their supports remain... hus, when trav-
elling in the territory of Ersilia , you come upon the ruins of the abandoned cities, without the
walls which do not last, without the bones of the dead which the wind rolls away: spider-webs of
intricate relationships seeking a form.
Italo Calvino Invisible Cities
Without he Walls Which Do Not Last is an exhibition which explores the practice of drawing
beyond its identiication as a ‘Fine Art’ discipline. As well as showcasing the breadth of drawing
practices within the University and its application in ields as diverse as engineering, design,
business, science, health and the arts, the purpose of this exhibition is to consider potentially
broader and less orthodox examples of ‘drawing’ within the surrounding community.

he aims of Expanding Drawing are:
To raise and challenge notions of drawing to the young in communities and within schools
and colleges and universities across the world.
To showcase contemporary drawing though exhibiting the work of both artists and non artists
who use drawing in their respective professions.
To provide accessible events, building and targeting new audiences and participants.
To provide a portal for continuing debate on the nature of drawing.
We use drawing far more than we realise as a basic means of communication when both written
and spoken information seem either inadequate or inappropriate. To a certain extent, the activity
of drawing remains limited by a set of assumptions primarily based upon the idea of technical skill.
his assumption is further re-enforced by the arts infrastructure. With communities, schools and
universities participation a re-evaluation can take place where a diverse range of methods and
cultures pertaining to drawing can be considered, brought to the fore.
We thank all the participants that helped with this project and will continue to develop the aims of
expanding drawing.
