Description
The premise that drives The Drawn Out Network was seeded during the first UAL / RMIT drawing conference held in Melbourne during March 2010. This conference was initiated as a means of exploring cross disciplinary approaches to drawing. It resulted in the organizers wanting to better understand drawings’ relationship with writing and notation; knowledge that we expect will help us in establishing drawings’ position as an active component of general literacy.
With drawing established in the minds of the organizers as the tangible bridge between textural and non textural communication our collaboration has resolved to develop a network of interested parties.
Working with the assumption that drawing is not simply a way of thinking and communicating but an integral part of our everyday and professional lives DRAWING OUT: 2012 will address, how drawing functions as a part of literacy through three themes;
1. Drawing and Notation. Drawing as a sometimes intuitive other times driven by convention means of mapping appearance and movement . With special reference to innovative methods of notation .
2. Drawing as Writing Drawing after, before and as a part of writing. An exploration of literacy and communication.
3. Drawing: recording and discovery. Drawing as a speculative activity and means of holding and transferring information.

TH.I.W.H by Gloria Zein
A cross-section of a two tonne bronze bell and a sculpture inspired by the dark history of Chelsea College of Art and Design are the joint winners of this year’s CASS PRIZE for emerging artists.
The £10,000 prize was established in 2010 by the Cass Sculpture Foundation, Cass Art and University of the Arts London. It is awarded this year to Aaron McPeake and Gloria Zein, both graduating postgraduate students at Chelsea. Their work will be exhibited in the College’s Rootstein Hopkins Parade Ground before going on display as works for sale at the Cass Sculpture Foundation at Goodwood in mid November.
Some Cuts Resonate by Aaron McPeake
Aaron’s work, entitled Some Cuts Resonate, was inspired by cuts to arts funding. The sliced bronze bell will be hung alongside a soft mallet, inviting passers by to strike it to produce a sound similar to a large church bell crossed with a plate gong. It will hang in one of the Parade Ground’s archways, which will act as a loudspeaker, and the sound produced will resonate for well over a minute – perhaps signalling opposition to funding cuts, though Aaron does not want to prescribe viewers’ response to the installation.
The bell was cast in bronze at the world famous Whitechapel Bell Foundry, using the same techniques used for casting church bells and Big Ben. Aaron says:
“It’s very important to me to create works that are interactive, especially since listening is as relevant as looking when it comes to understanding. This gets right away from the ‘do not touch’ signs you see in so many galleries; this piece isn’t complete until people do touch, play and experiment with it.”
Chelsea College’s history as the site of the notorious London prison Millbank Penitentiary, completed in 1821, inspired TH.I.W.H. (This Is What Happened), the work of joint winner Gloria Zein. The 3.1 meter high tent-like sculpture creates a confined, inaccessible space. Half brightly coloured and half dark, it reflects the history and changes of the area and cities in general. Gloria comments:
“There is a sense of absurdity that an arts school was installed on the site of a former prison – as the latter can enhance criminal careers and the art college can foster artistic careers.”
Up until 1868 everyone sentenced to transportation was processed through Millbank, and the theme of passage and movement is also replicated in the two 3.5 meter I-beams on which the sculpture sits.
Mark Cass, Managing Director of Cass Art and Trustee of the Cass Sculpture Foundation, says:
“The CASS PRIZE seeks to celebrate creative excellence. This year the standard of entries was so high we decided to award two prizes. Altogether the submissions were an incredibly diverse selection of new and vibrant contemporary sculpture. Ultimately our winners, Gloria Zein and Aaron McPeake, were chosen for the high technical and creative calibre of their proposals.”
Cass Art will be hosting an evening talk by the winning artists at its flagship store in Islington, London on Tuesday18 October, www.cassart.co.uk.
Professor Neil Cummings will be working with the Arnolfini Gallery during the course of this year to develop a series of self-portraits of the gallery using information from their archive, in celebration of the gallery’s 50th anniversary.
The project launches on February 18th February 2011
Talk: Self-portrait on Sunday 20 February 4pm Free
Join artist Neil Cummings, Arnolfini’s curator Nav Haq and archivist Julian Warren in a discussion at the launch of this anniversary project.
The Apparatus is s year long project running throughout 2011 to mark Arnolfini’s 50th anniversary. This series of exhibitions and events will focus on the conditions of the art world today, particularly its system of belief and valuation, its role within society, and its relationship to the wider political economy. The Apparatus is about the ‘making of’ artists, of artworks, of institutions, and of cultural infrastructure.
