“Another Draw on the Wall” was inaugurated at the ARCOS Museo d’Arte Contemporanea Sannio in Benevento on Saturday 19 September 2026. The exhibition is scheduled to remain open until 16 October 2026.
The show brings together more than forty artists from different generations and artistic trajectories. It is presented as a national survey of contemporary drawing, organized as a dialogue among emerging, mid-career and established positions rather than as a strictly chronological or generational overview.
Drawing as a finished language
The central premise of the exhibition is that drawing should be understood as an autonomous artistic language and finished work, rather than merely a preparatory stage for painting, sculpture or other media.
For visitors, that premise sets the terms of the visit: the works on view are meant to be read as complete statements in themselves. The emphasis falls on drawing’s capacity to carry an artist’s thinking and position directly, without serving as a sketch for something else.
Curator and collaboration
The project is curated by Francesco Creta.
It combines ARCOS’s institutional role with research and scouting by Mondoromulo arte contemporanea and a network associated with Dario Molinaro. In practice, that means the museum provides the institutional frame and public venue, while the collaborating research network contributes the selection work across a wide field of contemporary drawing practices.
That collaboration model also helps explain the scale of the artist list. Rather than focusing on a single generation, school or local scene, the exhibition draws on broader scouting to place different trajectories side by side.
A title with an edge
The title references “Another Brick in the Wall” and frames drawing as a potentially critical or disruptive medium.
The reference is useful for readers: instead of treating drawing as quiet or secondary, the exhibition proposes it as a form capable of interruption, commentary and friction. The cross-generational hang reinforces that reading, allowing established and younger artists to test one another rather than appear in separate chapters.
What to expect
Visitors should expect breadth rather than a single style. With more than forty participants, the exhibition is designed to show how widely contemporary drawing is now practiced, while keeping the focus on drawing itself as the shared medium.
The exact artist count is consistently described in the sources as “more than forty,” without a single definitive figure. Visitor numbers for the inauguration have not been reported in the available material.
