Drawing a Blank returns to London with a new collective of multidisciplinary artists.
. Nearly three years, a pandemic and an exhibition in Paris later, things are closer to solid today."It's a series of exhibitions; I've decided that much," he tells me over Zoom."In 2019, I was a little looser with my ambitions for what it is and what it could be. And I think that has become more concrete since then."
Last night, Drawing a Blank's sixth edition launches at 14 Wharf Road."This one is the most different from any that have come before -- each has been more ambitious than the last, the space has been bigger; they've got more international and diverse in the art that's shown. But this one is a bit of a U-turn.
The community element is core to Ben's work, and his objectives in democratising those archetypal white walls have informed everything up to this point."I'm really excited by the group of artists and musicians I've put together, and I want the artists I work with to feel that those spaces can be theirs," he says."These shows ultimately are about building community and the group as a whole; the power of what we can achieve as a collective, with a collective goal.
