A város törlődő jelei

occurrences of modernist painting, while the convoluted tubes are interpretable as incidental site-specific sculpture, then the series of lines photographed by the artist are clearly cases of unintended drawing. The waves, lines and circles that found their way onto outdoor surfaces may not have resulted from human intention, but they still constitute recognisable figurations in our visual field. To direct our attention to them, to save them from certain oblivion, is a minimal gesture on the part of the artist that does not involve actual intervention in the physical world - let alone the production of an object, but which nevertheless allows the poetry of these found situations to emerge and be apprehended. Like chalk marks on the playground floor destined to be washed away by the next rain, these acutely ephemeral lines are cared for by the artist in an ecological act of conceptual conservation. Maja & Reuben Fowkes
