'the drawing.' opens at WIMBLEDON space, Wimbledon College of Art on Thursday 24^th March. The show reveals the extensive efforts of four curators on a mission to purchase their first collectively owned artwork. Operating as 'The Drawing Collective', the four members have fully embraced the spirit of collaboration by eating, working and practically living together.  Like the first clue in a prolonged treasure hunt, the starting point given for the exhibition was “to reflect on Wimbledon College of Art’s focus on drawing and expanded notions of the archive.”

Over the last five months, every attempt at coming closer to acquiring the elusive artwork, has been categorically recorded and filed. Hundreds of emails, photographs, receipts, books, catalogues, letters, statements, arguments, unfortunate and happy accidents, every detail.

Curators, artists, archivists, collectors, interviewers, managers, negotiators?
