Jim Mooney - Critical Responses to Delineation

Dr Jim Mooney in conversation with members of TBC Artists' Collective

Today TBC was joined in The Crypt Gallery by Dr Jim Mooney, Reader in the Theory and Practice of Fine Art at Middlesex University, who led a discussion based on his responses to the exhibition Delineation, Contemporary Dialogues with Drawing. During the afternoon Jim shared his critical observations of the curatorial policy of the show and led the artists through the gallery in order to give a close reading of each work and identify underlying shared concerns among the exhibiting artists.

TBC would like to extend their thanks to Jim for his insightful and generous contribution to the exhibition programme. A transcript of the discussion will constitute part of the catalogue for Delineation, Contemporary Dialogues with Drawing, which TBC will be writing over the forthcoming months. This publication will also contain a transcript of yesterday's panel discussion led by artist John Timberlake and featuring TBC members Beverley Bennett, Charley Peters, Laura Davidson and Paul Mendez, as well as a collection of critical essays addressing current concerns in artists' drawing practices.

Delineation: Three Days Left

There are three days of Delineation left, and on Saturday 31st October artist John Timberlake will lead a panel discussion about the nature of drawing amongst TBC members. The event is free and begins at 2pm in The Crypt Gallery, NW1 2BA.

Installation: Delineation, Contemporary Dialogues with Drawing

Installation is currently underway for the new TBC exhibition Delineation: Contemporary Dialogues with Drawing. The group are spending two days transforming the subterranean environment of the Crypt Gallery, NW1, into an exhibition of critical drawing practices, which reflects the breadth of 'drawing' within the working processes of individual group members and across collaborative projects amongst TBC members. Each TBC member will also contribute works to the 'Drawing Dialogues Corridor', an area of the exhibition that shows an interrogatory or diagnostic approach to drawing.

Delineation: Contemporary Dialogues with Drawing is open Wednesday 27th-Sunday 31st October, 10am-6pm. The Private View is Wednesday 27th October, 6-9pm. An artists' talk takes place on Saturday 30th October at 2pm led by artist John Timberlake and involving several TBC artists.

TBC artist Charley Peters will be exhibiting two works from her new Viral series of drawings at Delineation: Contemporary Dialogues with Drawing in October 2010. In addition to Viral, Peters will also show a collection of diagnostic works that explore the role of drawing in her practice in the Drawing Dialogues area on the exhibition. This important part of the Delineation exhibition will interrogate how TBC artists use drawing processes in preparatory, research and collaborative works.
