“At the main entrance to the exhibition space proper, a stylish Japanese girl sporting flamboyant feather headgear is down on her knees, carefully drawing in pencil a delicate, floral and seemingly - endless pattern on the walls. This is the soothing performance of Central Saint Martins' BA Graduate Momoko Suzuki, who serenely informs me that once the exhibition is over, her 'Untitled (2009)' will 'disappear', returning once more to the 'formless fate of the universe'.” Ana Vukadin (murmurArt, Dialogue)

UNTITLED DRAWING PROJECTS
INTRODUCTION;
‘Affirming that the Universe resembles nothing and is only formless amounts to saying that the universe is something like a spider or spit (Georges Bataille).’
Likewise ‘affirming that the Universe resembles nothing’, the Untitled Drawing Projects appears on parts of architecture, and will disappear from the place to return to the nothing or to the “flattened” images as following to the fate of Universe. The project continues to grow, improvise, and transform one to another, to be 'formless', to transform alter one's idea and vision. The process does nothing to undo the activity, but the activity of making drawings on the parts of architecture only deepen the process of entropy.
None of the visible material form is forever, unless time disappears from the matter. The drawing project represents the image as a part of the productive cycle; as an experience of architecture and human. The performance seems like a resemblance to be useless productive effort, compare to the infinite, and the majestic activity of the Universe, and only for that entropy will progress its process.
The potential drawing project is delivering the botanic image to induce the viewer to feel relaxed and freed from the total pressure and event in certain/uncertain duration. By the continuous de-formalization of the image, the drawing project relaxes the viewer from the pressure of form, concept, and politics.
Finally, each project represents as an “image”; for admiring to hold a supple heart to feel beauty, rather than being a statement of politics that is particularly becoming the power to control people by putting law into the mind and society. Such as a drawing project situates in the boundary between public and personal space.
