Sixty Drawings + Ten explores, defines and celebrates the practice and locality of drawing in its diverse forms from a range of different disciplines.
Questions posed by Sixty Drawings +10. Where can drawing be situated in an artist’s practice? Does it come after, before or during? Is drawing secondary or primary? Is the paper or other surface just a support or does it play as important a role as that of the drawn marks?
In 2012, lead artist, project manager and curator, Carolyn Curtis Magri devised a plan for an exhibition of sixty drawings, each by a different artist. The curatorial rationale was to invite artists via open call from Manchester studios and Manchester Metropolitan University to whose practice drawing was of particular importance. Artists of renown to be shown alongside lesser-known practitioners.
Curtis Magri worked with Gary James Williams, artist, curator and consultant at Phenomena Fine Art, as a co-curator, and the exhibition was shown at Bankley Studios Gallery, where both artists had their studio practice. Now, a decade later, Curtis Magri, again in collaboration with Williams, is launching the second iteration of Sixty Drawings + Ten
