On drawing: Becky Beasley

The history of drawing has maintained a lightness which painting has not. It was, somehow "weaker" than painting.

Its marginalization was also its strenght.

It was always elsewhere.

Perhaps drawing has within it the capacity for a kind of indifference to history which allows it a less encumbered position or, to use another term form Blanchot, a passionate indifference.
