One preview/ review from the Georgia Straight
New inspiration at Vancouver's inaugural drawing festival
Spanning 16 galleries, the new Drawn festival celebrates an underappreciated form that's low-tech but high-skill
"Seeing is the problem," Ann Kipling says. "Drawing is the solution." One of Canada's most distinguished artists, Kipling is a key participant in Drawn, Vancouver's inaugural drawing festival. The first of its kind in Canada, Drawn celebrates an often underappreciated medium. It launches on Saturday (July 18) and runs until August 8 at 16 galleries across the city.
Drawing as performance, drawing as installation, drawing as sculpture--there's more to this seemingly modest medium than marks on a piece of paper. A series of events during the new Drawn festival will explode the art form out of the studio and into the public eye. One of the most fascinating takes place Friday evenings and Sunday afternoons, from July 19 to August 7, when the artists' collective DRIL mounts a site-specific drawing performance and installation, City Hall, at the foot of Carrall Street in Gastown.
