Richly illustrated catalogue accompanying the exhibition Scrivere Disegnando at The Centre d'Art Contemporain Geneva, Jan. 29 - Aug. 23, 2020. Through the work of nearly a hundred contemporary artists and Art Brut personalities with - amongst others - : Douglas Abdell, Jenna Sutela and Adolf Wölfli, the exhibition and the catalogue explore a terra incognita where arabesques, reiterated marks, scribblings, compulsive writings produce “meaning” in a field outside of language.The catalogue brings together essays specially commissioned from curators, critics, artists, philosophers, and academics on the questions of asemic writing and walks the reader through these plural writings.
