Rimini Drawing Biennale Fourth edition: Return to Travel, from the Grand Tour to science fiction

Fourth edition of the Rimini Drawing Biennial, organized and curated by the Department of Culture and the Municipal Museums of Rimini, which returns to take place, after the break caused by Covid-19, as usual between spring and summer with the its consolidated format of exhibitions located in the various institutional locations - City Museum, Gambalunga Library, Palazzo del Fulgor and Castel Sismondo - and with the Open Circuit, an expression of direct and interactive dialogue with the city and its territory, which includes other exhibitions in private and public spaces (galleries, artists' and architecture studios, bookshops).
There will be 12 exhibitions at the same time showcasing 1,000 drawings that come from important international institutions, such as, among others, the Royal Academy of San Fernando in Madrid and the Fonds Regionale d'Art Contemporain de Picardie, and from private collections such as the Studiolo Rivi . The theme is the Journey as an outcome and inspiration, but also as a recording and contamination from the present to the past.
On display are drawings ranging from the travel notebooks of Felice Giani to those of Lorenzo Mattotti, from Piranesi's engravings to Thayaht's twentieth century, from Morandi to Fontana and Fautrier, from the Carteles of Cuban cinema to the drawings of the first Italian animated film "La Rosa di Bagdad” to reach the contemporary artists on display in the Cantiere Disegno.
Furthermore, there will be meetings with specialists, scholars and journalists, readings, conferences, performances, lessons, art talks, and educational workshops around drawing in all its meanings. Download the program of collateral events here
