Drawology,\u00a0<\/strong>originally seen at the Bonington Gallery, <\/a>Nottingham Trent University, in Autumn 2013, explores how drawing has the ability to record both its own making and the movement of the thoughts and body of the drawer. Bringing together the work of several artists with differing practices,<\/p>\n

Drawology aims to consider whether this premise is applicable to a specific process or genre of drawing or whether it is applicable to drawing generally. In this respect the works in the exhibition represent an expanded field of contemporary drawing in a Fine Art context to include: works on paper, performance, moving image, installation, projections and three-dimensional drawings. The exhibition is part of a larger research project currently being undertaken by Deborah Harty entitled \u2018Drawing is phenomenology’.<\/p>\n

Supported using public funding by the National Lottery through Arts Council England.<\/p>\n

The exhibition is open 12 noon – 6 pm Monday – Saturday.<\/p>\n

A printed catalogue, including work from each of the included artists, is available from the Lanchester Gallery, Coventry or Bonington Gallery, Nottingham<\/p>\n

As part of the gallery space, movable wall panels were located in front of the large gallery side windows to offer extra exhibition space. This \u2018artificial\u2019 wall (a transient upright) is reminiscent of theatrical flats and connects conceptually and practically with the location, placement and illumination of the piece.<\/p>\n

There is a natural synergy with Dr Deborah Harty\u2019s<\/strong> large folded drawing \u2013 reminiscent of theatrical curtains \u2013 which stands close to the black tripod spotlight.<\/p>\n

The massive luminous source \u2013 radiating heat from the large bulb inside \u2013 makes visible the tiny marks hovering in space, released by the holographic surface. A sledgehammer to crack a nut.
An almost insignificant object, not offered the credibility of eye-level display and invisible from most of the gallery.<\/p>\n

The cable running from the tripod-mounted theatrical light into the floor socket is an integral aspect of the installation – part drawing, part signpost to the technology needed to illuminate the small holographic images.<\/p>\n
