Installing Drawing Residency | The Centre for Drawing | Wimbledon | 2006 from David Kefford on Vimeo.
The Centre for Drawing at Wimbledon School of Art was established in 2000 and acts as a locus for a range of significant projects in drawing.
As a site that is part studio, part exhibition space, the present function of the Centre for Drawing is to encourage a discourse and exchange between postgraduate students, fine art researchers and artists from both within the School community as well as invited researchers and artists.
A programme of residencies, artist’s presentations, group discussions and seminars have been established to facilitate not only individual and group projects but also collaborations not specifically geared to the conventions of exhibitions which can suggest new and unexpected arenas for exploration and research. In that sense the site of the Centre for Drawing will be fulfilling the criteria of a project space –an open ended place of dialogue, debate and research that interrogates both process and product.
David was invited by Ansel Krut, the Fellow in Figurative Drawing, to occupy the Project Space for a period of one week and ‘draw in 3-Dimensions’ using the architecture of the space and his own eclectic array of materials. Meanwhile, Ansel responded to this activity by ‘documenting’ the work in progress using watercolours and inks on paper. The results of which were later displayed on the walls alongside David’s provisional Installation.
