The Sketch: Lines of Enquiry

The AA Gallery will be populated for three weeks with instances of drawing practice, readings, discussions and performances. The idea of the sketch as cursory gesture and anticipation, a document of the process of thinking, will become the thematic framework, within which various events and conversations will be staged. There will be physical objects – students’ work, drawings from the AA archives, projections of architects’ sketchbooks, to allow for reflections, inquiry and new inscriptions. The process in itself will be the main object on display.
Voices across the school, architects and artists will partake in this project to provide a vibrant space of exchange, a pedagogical venue within the school to provoke ideas and contents for future encounters. Material traces, recordings, visual documentation of these processes will articulate the archive of a future exhibition.
