A new show of works from our monthly collective drawing session, exploring the psychological dynamics of shared creativity, where distributed collaboration leads to emergent ideas and feelings of connection, serving as a powerful tool for understanding and processing shared social experiences and the trauma of our fucked-up 21st century existence.
In November 2023 we started a monthly residency with musician Cos Chapman, mixing live electronic improvisation and an open drawing session.
At the beginning the idea was to draw figures in movement using charcoal on large pieces of paper laid on the floor. But as soon as we started, everybody forgot about it and the general approach was to draw free lines and improvised sketches that went through the session evolving into interconnected compositions. The first group of collective work was astonishing, where large masses of darkness surrounded small groups of human figures, dying birds, poetic forms and hands in despair.
Our next collective drawing session is on Saturday 6th September from 5.30 until 7.30.
Live electronic music soundtrack by Cos Chapman & guests.
