DRAWSpace’s most recent popup exhibition DESTINATION DRAWING, featured work by Andrew Christofides, Wendy Sharpe, Guy Warren, and Euan Macleod among others.
‘DRAW Space are delighted to present DESTINATION DRAWING, featuring a collection of postcard drawings under the custodianship of Professor Michael Esson.
The postcard is a personal, informal, and intimate form of communication, offering an appropriate parallel to drawing; so often a private act given public exposure. For each artist, the standard postcard provides a common and equitable space upon which to leave their mark.
The former International Drawing Research Institute at the College of Fine Arts brought together almost 250 drawings from artists, designers, illustrators, architects, and cartoonists across the United Kingdom, Canada, the United States, China, Japan, and Australia. DESTINATION DRAWING was shown for the first time in China in 2010, but has never been shown in Australia. Since then, many new works from artists from throughout the world have enhanced the collection, resulting in a fascinating documentary archive of the graphic language.’
