GRIBOUILLAGE: WHEN DOODLING BECOMES ART

I had the opportunity to visit an exhibition that, with unusual juxtapositions, sheds light on lesser-known aspects of the practice of drawing.
Gribouillage/Scarabocchio. From Leonardo da Vinci to Cy Twombly is the exhibition curated by Francesca Alberti and Diane Bodart that takes place first in Rome, at the Academy of France – Villa Medici, then in Paris, at the Beaux-Arts.

The exhibition project explores the hidden side of art making and invites visitors to move their gaze to the back of paintings, the walls of workshops, the margins of a book or the walls of cities.
Two complementary exhibitions to address the many facets of doodling in art.

In this post I propose the sections of the Rome exhibition, which has the merit of underlining how experimentation and the search for a primordial sign, which does not respect any academic rule, is a necessity present not only in the contemporary era.

HOW THE ART WORLD IS TACKLING RACIAL INEQUALITY 

Over the years, there has been a significant lack of diversity in the art world. In fact, around 85% of artists represented by U.S institutions are white and many classical paintings have been found to have racist undertones or themes. Racial inequality is a big problem in society as a whole but certainly prevails in the art industry.

Luckily, many in the art world have noticed this inequality and are making movies to improve racial representation in art. While progress is being made, the art world still has a long way to go.

Here, we will take a look at how racial inequality is being tackled in the art world with comments from expert Oliva Kwok Decani.
