Drawing out preconceptions
An exhibition that investigates preconceptions about both
drawing as an art medium and the usual processes around staging
exhibitions opens at the Blue Oyster Art Project Space next
month.
Drawing (For the Given Value of Drawing) is the culmination of
an experimental project in which seven artists addressed
interaction and interrelation as an exhibition strategy through the
vernacular of drawing.
"We developed projects and works on site while the gallery was
closed, re-opening a different exhibition each week. This process
challenged the usual dynamic of an exhibition being in stasis after
install. These projects have been developed further and will be
presented in Dunedin as the final part of the process. The
show at Rm had a time and performance aspect to it, while the Blue
Oyster exhibition is more about the space and location. This
difference offers an important change of pace between the two
shows. We want to use the three sections of Blue Oyster to trace a
network through the spaces of interrelating propositions on the
related acts of drawing, thinking and looking," says Jill.
