Drawing Connections is a group of artists working together using drawing to challenge their individual practices, exploring how artists communicate and collaborate, and pushing the boundaries as to what a contemporary drawing may be. Their collaborative approach embodies Mario Mertz’s view that 'co-operation is one of the most necessary of human possibilities.' On Our Way to Where? marks a point a year into the group’s journey, offering the opportunity to test out ideas in an experimental space open to the public. The exhibition encompasses a broad range of media including site-specific work, wall drawings, sculptural pieces, film and animation alongside more traditional approaches.
