Working Drawing<\/em> – DRAW Space<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DRAW Space is an independent artist-run space in Newtown, Sydney that supports artists to engage in new drawing research and to showcase innovative works.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In September 2023, I presented a solo show there, titled WORKING DRAWING<\/em>, with the
proposition to use the gallery as a hybrid workshop, studio, exhibition and event space where the labour of drawing as practice, pedagogy and field of enquiry was made evident through my daily inhabitation and activations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Visitors could activate a large sound drawing made in homage to John Cage and watch drawings being produced by various drawing automata, including my version of the 19th-century harmonograph and 21st-century Sensilab Drawbots developed by fellow artist Professor Jon McCormack at Monash University. During the exhibition, I created over 100 original harmonograph drawings on A2 paper that I gifted to visitors who were present during the drawing’s making.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The exhibition\u2019s title paraphrases and adapts from a pivotal 1966 conceptual art project by American artist Mel Bochner \u2018Working Drawings and Other Visible Things On Paper Not Necessarily Meant To Be Viewed As Art<\/em>\u2019. My assimilation flips Bochner\u2019s passive noun ‘Drawings’ to the active verb ‘Drawing’ to emphasise consideration of drawing as productive cultural labour and to address the essential ever-present question \u2018What can drawing be?\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n
