    By Amanda Carneiro Traditionally granted a preliminary role in the production process, the drawing was conceived as a subsidiary to the creation of artworks, many times taken out of sight from the public, and replaced by painting and sculpture. Shifting towards site-specific installations, based on graphic impressions and that do not break away from the […]
