Summary: This book presents an international survey of the most exquisite drawings from the last few years. It will foreground new relatively unknown practitioners together with some of the more well-known designers who have again embraced the delights of drawing. Invited contributors include: Pascal Bronner, Bryan Cantley, Nic Clear, Peter Cook, Mark Garcia, Simon Herron Perry Kulper, C.J. Lim, Noonan / Butcher / Post Works, Mark Morris, Nancy Wolf and Mas Yendo. It will discuss drawings in relation to such core topics as its relationship to film and animation; historical context; narrative; ornament; structure and technique; and the hand drawing's ongoing role in design. It will garner comment and criticism from a wealth of practitioners and theorists in an attempt to create a publication that is both relishing the drawing but also delving deep into its protocols to reveal its structures, myopias and technologies.
