Drawing a Presence is a snap shot of what it’s like to be a certain age, at a particular time, in a specific place.
Curated by Falmouth-based Elle Sambrook and Henry Osman, this exhibition invites visitors to Newlyn Art Gallery to view Cornwall as seen by a new generation of artists.
The works deal with migration, landscape, folklore and social perceptions. They cover many media – wax sculpture, large-scale drawings, analogue photography and performance poetry – each conveying their own personal response to Cornwall.
In addition to the call-out, skateboarders at Wherrytown have been collaborating with photographer James Hankey while 3 Villages Youth Project has been creating a new piece of work with artist Sam Bassett. There have also been several commissions, including a performance by poet Seth Hampshire and photography by Rosie Kliskey.
Drawing a Presence presents a unique opportunity for visitors to Newlyn Art Gallery to see Cornwall as seen by young artists. The exhibition runs concurrently to an international group exhibition at The Exchange, 3am: wonder, paranoia and the restless night.
