Forthcoming Exhibition of Drawings made through the Sense of Touch

Royal West of England Academy, 6-17 June

DRAW group come together in this unique exhibition to present drawings that explore self-portraiture using the sense of touch. The featured drawings of Lucy Cox, Onny Thomson, Sara Towers and Lucy Ward celebrate areas of the body that are excluded from traditional self-portraiture. Shown as a collective portrait experience, this dynamic selection of drawings is likely to evoke questions about the human form and the interpretation of the sense of touch.

For opening times and further details please contact the RWA http://www.rwa.org.uk/

PARIS - BRISTOL CONNECTED DRAWING summer project 2008
Postcards marked on two edges, stamped and addressed were handed to individuals on trains, in cafes, bars and parks and invited to make a drawing without taking the pencil off the paper. The cards, with instructions and a pencil attached were also left randomly on walls, lamp posts, trees and other public places for individuals to pick up and respond. Over the following weeks the majority of cards were returned and put together linking the two cities in a continuous line drawing.

PARIS - BRISTOL UN DESSIN CONTINU projet d'été 2008
Des cartes postales dont deux cotés portaient une marque, timbrées et portant notre addresse, ont été données a un certain nombre de personnes dans des trains, cafés, bars et parcs avec une invitation a tracer n'importe quel dessin d'une marque a l'autre, sans jamais lever le crayon du papier. Ces cartes avec les instructions et un petit crayon ont été aussi déposees au hazard sur des murs, lampadaires, arbres et autres endroits publics invitant le public a donner sa réponse.
Dans les semaines suivante la plupart des cartes nous sont revenues. Nous les avons assemblées liant ainsi les deux villes par un dessin continu.
