RHA Open Studio – 'A Conversation on Drawing'
Artists, architects and writers were invited to the
RHA Open Studio – 'A Conversation on Drawing'
Ideas abound around the concepts of drawing; drawing as a thinking tool, drawing to communicate, drawing as a physical act, drawing as writing, drawing to familiarise yourself, drawings relationship to material, performative drawing in space, contemplative drawing encounters and drawing that reframes a space.
The exhibition was in the amazing space of the RHA Life Drawing room. It unconventionally did away with the walls, using instead 8x4 sheets of wood, easels, 'drawing-donkeys' and life-model-podiums to display the work - it brought the viewer into close contact with the work, standing in the footsteps of the artists.
