Talk: The Paradoxes of Drawing with Brian Fay and Jan-Philipp Fruehsorge

Talks at TBG+S

A talk with international curator Jan-Philipp Fruehsorge and TBG+ Studio Artist Brian Fay hosted by Temple Bar Gallery + Studios for National Drawing Day. Thinking about contemporary drawing practices internationally and in Ireland this talk explores the innate paradoxes in drawing now: why is drawing described as something special and not at the same time? if drawing is a medium is there specific content? do we still see drawing as a verb or a noun? Using some key images from diverse drawing practices these and other themes will be discussed. This event was kindly supported by the Goethe Institute Irland and is hosted as part of the annual celebration of National Drawing Day, an initiative of the National Gallery of Ireland.
