Summary:

"This volume offers a timely and rigorous exploration of a relatively little-researched art form. Serial drawings ? artworks that are presented as singular works but are made up of distributed parts ? are studied in fresh, contemporary terms, with a philosophical approach emphasizing the way that this unique form of visual art exists in the world. Joe Graham explores a variety of serial drawings in relation to three terms: seriality, temporality and pictoriality. Seriality indicates the structural layout of various serial works, including how they are physically arranged in or around an exhibition space. Temporality concerns the viewer's experience of these choices, in that the distributed nature of such serial work can be said to 'perform' in time for the viewer, much like a piece of theatre. Pictoriality concerns the ambiguous question of what is represented within each series of drawings. Serial Drawing employs elements of contemporary thinking and builds on current discussions around art and philosophy to establish what serial drawing 'is' and how it functions as a form of art."-- Provided by publisher.
