The University of Edinburgh’s Talbot Rice Gallery’s opening exhibition for 2010 is a first for the UK; an exhibition of art to instruct, a project of rich, diverse imagery and unusual juxtaposition. In 2004 Talbot Rice presented the exhibition Object Lessons where the use of the object in teaching and research was explored. Drawing for Instruction can be viewed almost as a sister project with the thinking process of drawing as our subject.
Drawing for Instruction: the art of explanation
When: 2nd Feb to 6th Mar 2010
Where: Talbot Rice Gallery, University of Edinburgh
Open: Tuesday – Saturday 10 – 5pm. Admission Free
Researchers, teachers and students, exploring ideas and imparting knowledge over three centuries, have created dynamic and intriguing images. Where instructional art could seem to be potentially without aesthetic, the Gallery through in-depth research has discovered items that offer beauty in form and detail. These include insights into the natural world, visual realisations of scientific experiments and imagined new cities.
