"An expanded concept of drawing" in process

In Galleri Gro Cesare has worked with a group of students from Fine Art Department/ Novia: Emilia Kannosto, John Sjöberg, Valter Kuni, Anna Holmlund, Niclas Kangas, Eleonora Hagström, Tanja Fagerholm, Nicoline Aspvik, Mikaela Boxström, Michel Ruths, Marja Seppälä, Benjamin Forsell, Kristiina Hallantie. The concept of the workshop "An expanded concept of drawing" is to explore and experiment, through a group work, different options and possibilities for conceiving, producing and distributing drawings: repetitive patterns, preterintentional or random ways of crating images, projective interpretations of shapes, playing with the title and/or the signature and/or the caption of the drawing, imagining alternative ways of distribution and drawings made for senses other than visual, inventing specific obstructions or variations on given themes, playing with the invisible, using words or texts as elements, giving value to mistakes etc.

The first part of the workshop is dedicated to the exploration of these ideas and sharing information on relevant references.  The further discussion will bring us to new possibilities, and after that we will start producing big number of drawings. The drawings, starting from the day of the opening, will be distributed to the public according to modalities that will be decided during the workshop. The opening itself, on the other end, rather than just a moment of exhibition will be a sort of continuation of the workshop that can be joined by interested members of the public.
