Each person is given a small A6 sketchbook and a stick of graphite. The objective of the workshop is to walk through the free exhibition at Thaddaeus Ropac Gallery, and make 41 fast paced drawings in 2 hours.

We will be visiting the Robert Rauschenberg 'ROCI' exhibiton:

"On 13 December 1984, Robert Rauschenberg (1925-2008) stood before the United Nations to announce his intentions for the Rauschenberg Overseas Culture Interchange (ROCI), an ambitious and unprecedented project conceived for 'making and exchanging art and facts around the world.' Between 1984 and 1991, he travelled the globe with a large-scale touring exhibition with this purpose of sparking dialogue and achieving mutual cross-cultural understanding through artistic expression.
Presenting works directly from the Robert Rauschenberg Foundation, this is the first gallery survey dedicated to ROCI since the conclusion of the project. Held in London in a moment of deep global uncertainty, the exhibition revisits the project to consider the power of international collaboration and artistic exchange in the 21st century."

There will be lots of objects/artworks and starting points for conversation and inspiration to make some drawings. All abilities welcome and this workshop is free to access.

This specific session is hosted by Jai @Jinrake & Nima @nima.shafiani who both work as artists in today's London.

We will meet as a group at the main entrance of the Thaddaeus Ropac Gallery at 3.15pm and the session starts at 3.30pm.
