As part of a series of short summer exhibitions, DRAW Space is thrilled to present DESTINATION DRAWING / From the archives of the International Drawing Research Institute
Curated by Michael Esson
The postcard is a personal, informal and intimate form of communication and as such offers an appropriate parallel to drawing; so often a private act given public exposure. For each artist the standard post card provides a common and equitable space upon which to leave their mark.
The former International Drawing Research Institute (at CoFA) brought together almost 250 drawings from artists, designers, illustrators, architects, and cartoonists across the United Kingdom, Canada, 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, the addition of many new works from artists from throughout the world has greatly enhanced the collection that has continued to grow and has already become an interesting documentary archive of the graphic language.
