The Centre for Drawing is delighted to announce two events to coincide with Visiting Hood Fellow Peter Robinson’s residency in the project space at Wimbledon College of Art. Peter’s residency has been funded by the University of Auckland Hood Fellowship and is the third in a series of exchanges between fine-art practitioners from The Centre for Drawing UAL and collaborating Australian/ New Zealand institutions.

Private View

Wednesday 24th February 2010, 5-7pm
Exhibition runs: 18th February – 8th March 2010
Consistent with Robinson’s manipulation and distortion of the gallery apparatus is his decision to disrupt the temporal conventions of the exhibition format. For the first week of the exhibition the work can only be viewed from outside the space. A ‘midview’ will be held at this stage of project, from which time the audience will have access to the installation. He plans to make at least one major intervention to the work during second phase of the exhibition.
