Z4RD Volume 2: Box of Desires
Curated and edited by Paul Kindersely
Centre For Recent Drawing
London
N1

…a frenzied exploration of eroticism, desire, possession, longing and the body. Ranging from the abstract to the pornographic, the sexy to the sadistic, the sublime to the rubber, drawing as a way of ownership of our unattainable fantasies.(C4RD)

The second edition of Z4RD, is released to tie-in with the C4RD’s exhibition HAND JOY, which explores eroticism, desire, possession, longing and the body through drawing. Each artist contributed 20 original artworks, ranging from original drawings to poems to DVDs to photos. This edition is a unique opportunity to own a collection of exciting artworks by new and established international artists.

Curated by Paul Kindersley, Volume 2 is presented in a plain brown cardboard box, that, like Pandora’s, when opened unleashes the secrets, desires and fantasies of the artists involved. A cornucopia of drawings, from the pornographic to the abstract, exploring the energy of the artists hand. A plain box, a time capsule, hidden under a bed, opened in private, explored, each encounter offers up something different, individual artworks, for the owner to paw over, investigate, watch, read. Trying to evoke the excitement and longing of desire, Box of Desires, presents a unique artwork, a thrilling secret exhibition.(C4RD)
