Milan Grygar: Performance Drawings

Milan Grygar's work is inspired by the rhythmic taps and scratches that attend the making of marks on paper. His drawings capture the sonic existence of the emerging image, its acoustic coming-into-being. For Grygar, the “acoustic event” would “from that point on be stronger for me than color.” Sound is then the juncture between hand and the space it moves through, between the drawing tool (be it a hand alone or an object driven by a hand) and a sheet of paper.
