Whilst I am constantly researching and looking out for examples of contemporary drawing I discovered The Drawing Room last year.
The gallery is the only non profit making one in UK thats dedicated to the investigation and presentation of international contemporary drawing. It explores ideas around drawing and makes them visible in the public domain and provides a unique resource for the promotion of drawing, its practice, theory, and methodology.
Currently they have a an exhibition showing called ‘ Graphology ‘ which is on in London until June. The exhibition aims to explore the genealogy of automated drawing from a contemporary perspective, starting from the beginning of the 20th Century.
The artist and exhibitions featured within this organisation are a constant source of inspiration to my own practice, especially as many of the exhibits tour the UK and MIMA in Middlesbrough been a regular place, where the work receives broader scope, interpretation and dissemination.
