My submission is in for the drawing show that’s coming up. Its over to the selection comittee now, i’ve always wondered what happens behind those closed doors. This show is based on John Berger’s definition of drawing as “observation, expression or exorcism”. An interesting point of view itself.
I wonder where they will draw the line, what is drawing, print, painting etc. The gallery mentioned the requirement that the artist has made direct marks onto the surface, so my drawings on inkjet prints of manipulated photographs are included but would most print-making techniques are not included per-se.
Not my problem any more, now that the work is in. But an interesting dilemma nontheless and I’m really looking forward to seeing which work is chosen and how it is all hung together.
