Drawing as a forum for collaborative exchange

So we finally have a poster image to post up!

Since Ross’s last post on here we have managed to grab some time in my studio here in Edinburgh. Whilst drinking fragrant Turkish coffee the conversations began to loosen and spread over the works – plans we had originally in our heads separately were ironed out on the page! I think we’re as ready as we can be to face mistake and rectification during the week long install beginning October 21st. Then on to the opening on Friday 28th.

Ross is on his way over this Wednesday too – just to finish some joint things off and get to a point where we know what is being packed and where.

We also have a discussion planned with Andrew Bryant in the week preceding the end of the show in November. On Thursday 10th of November Andrew will be visiting Edinburgh to chair a discussion around the use of blogging and its applicability to collaborative working and project realisation. We will be posting discussion points up on here when we have bashed out heads together (I’m sure this will happen naturally once our work is installed).

A quick and slightly less poignant post that my usual efforts – but non the less informative. See some of the attached images, and hope to see some of you at the opening on 28th October!

Ross:

We find ourselves in the month of October and less than 25 days until the opening of ‘Ipso Facto’ an exhibition by Ross Hamilton Frew and Richard Taylor. It all is beginning to seem very real and it’s fast approach gives me something to think about. I haven’t seen Richard since we started this blog but it will all change tomorrow when I visit his studio to make use of the facilities. I will also make the trip to the superclub to have a chat with team member Ross Christie. Promotion and invites have to be done and that all has to happen when we are trying to finalise the works that will be displayed during the show. It’s been a while since I’ve been this involved in displaying my own work. Group shows have been the mainstay of late, along with the curation of show I’ve not displayed in, but the excitement of this is unmatched. I can’t reveal any images but if you look through the previous post as far back as May you will get an idea of what will be on show. I hope to be as prepared as possible before the 14th but with some work to be done in situ, I will be kept going right to the last moment. For the time being here are some images of some things that have influenced my practice over the last 6 months.

I hope you can make it on the night.
