Would you consider a solar-mechanised piece of charcoal dragged across a marble stone, or four kilometres of string pinned corner-to-corner, a drawing?

These are two considerations among a group of 10 artists who expand what drawing can be. You can see their work in the 2024 edition of the Dobell Australian Drawing Biennial, at the Art Gallery of NSW (AGNSW).

The Biennial grew out of the long-running Dobell Drawing Prize, and has been presented since 2014 (apart from 2022 due to COVID). Anne Ryan has been charged with the task of curating the Biennial, and has created a cracker exhibition this year – arguably its best yet.
