17 September—12 October 2018
Presenting new work by six pairs of artists, created through long-distance collaboration between two cities, The Drawing Exchange 2018 explored drawing as a form of dialogue. With exhibitions running concurrently at the National Art School, Sydney and the Adelaide Central School of Art, The Drawing Exchange 2018 served as a point of discussion about diverse ideas of drawing in contemporary art, and demonstrated drawing’s manifestation in a range of media and art forms, from pencil and paper to installation, sculpture and digital media.
