What Will Be Seen
When: 28th May – 25th June 2010
Where: The Bay Art Gallery, 54 Bute Street, Cardiff.
An exhibition of drawings and other work by the Opus Group, teachers on the Foundation Diploma course at Swansea Metropolitan University. The Opus original intentions were to make their work as practitioners visible – to each other, our students and wider audiences – both in and beyond the context of our teaching. Their first exhibition showed work-in-progress, while their second focused on the relationship between our personal drawing practices and our teaching philosophy and methods.
In this exhibition drawing will be examined, taking as a unifying theme the notion of thinking through drawing. The group is characterised by diverse practices, ranging across the full spectrum within art and design. The exhibition will reveal the differences and similarities across method and artefact from the point of initiation – the sparking of the thought/drawing process. The use of line, tone, colour, text, texture, process, scale, material and object, lengthy observation and the immediacy of mark making will be evident in a variety of combinations, so that while some artefacts may remain resolutely two dimensional, others may use placement and the presence of objects, made and found, to draw in space.
