This exhibition presents works by sixteen artists, two of which foreign, all featured in CAM's collection. Drawing is the chosen technique, even though there are three three-dimensional artworks, where the evocation of trait and the evolution of line across the plan are obvious.

One always searches for the intelligibility offered by a running thread - in texts as in images, in their interaction as well as within each one. It is this running thread that is searched for and established here, from its timid and almost invisible singularity to its most dense accumulation, through words and landscapes, geometry and gestures.
