“The One Year Drawing Project” is an experimental publishing project that follows a 29-month period of drawing exchange between four of Sri Lanka’s most important contemporary artists. The book relates back to the creation of four drawings that were simultaneously drawn in May 2005 and charts the exchange of responses that ensued in response and as a consequence to the initial four drawings. In common with the technique of the Exquisite Corpse used to great effect by the Surrealists, “The One Year Drawing Project” belies similar outcomes of subversion and fraught association when viewed against the context of the current political climate in Sri Lanka – where all four artists live and work. A timeline exchanged between the four artists, provides a subtext to the volume of 208 drawings brought together in the book.
