"Drawing is the means by which we understand and map, decipher, and come to terms with our surroundings as we leave marks, tracks, or shadows to mark our passing." - Emma Dexter (2005)

The Open Drawer Projects introduces its first initiative Part 1: The Drawing Room at the VANSA Spin Street Gallery. The project is a collaboration of artists each exploring the language of drawing. The show navigates different modes of drawing; employing techniques of gesture, elements of chance, examining the transformation of matrix to print, and constructing line beyond the page. The marked edges of the studio/project space is a generator fuelled by its surroundings. Part 1: The Drawing Room has been an active studio for the last four weeks. The one night closing event culminates and displays the drawing activities that have occured in the space.

Collaborating artists include Grace Cross, Jared Ginsburg, Jessie Hammond, Rodan Kane Hart, Io Makandal, and Samantha McCulloch
