F block gallery, Bower Ashton Campus, UWE
11-27 September 2019
Private view 19 September, 5-7pm
An exhibition surveying the current role of drawing in UWE staff practices.
This exhibition is the first event produced by UWE Drawing Research, with the aim of representing the diversity of drawing practice across the Schools of Art and Design, and Film and Journalism.
The definition of ‘drawing’ is deliberately broad, and includes exploratory, preparatory, supporting, as well as finished bodies of work, in any form or media. The definition of drawing lies with the artist.
As a new research group, we are seeking to review the field of drawing across disciplines, and to see the role it takes within teaching staff’s practices. We will be following a long tradition of exhibitions surveying contemporary practices in Drawing (for example [Drawing] at MAO Oxford in 1972, Drawing Now at MOMA, NewYork in 1976, The End of the Line at The Hayward in 2009 and A Slice Through the World at the Drawing Room in 2018), representing the subject, practice and object of Drawing.
The exhibition will also allow all members of the university to understand the centrality of drawing to all creative practices, whether in preparatory, idea-forming ways, or as finished outcomes.
