The Drawing Exchange in the Drawing Gallery
The Drawing Exchange (TDE) fosters artistic exchange between artists and art institutions, through an artist-led program focusing on innovative drawing practices. TDE 2022 is the third iteration of an ongoing collaboration between Adelaide Central School of Art and NAS. In 2022, Maitland Regional Art Gallery (NSW) joins the program, expanding the national reach of the Drawing Exchange. The TDE 2022 theme is Site. The nine selected artists respond to the site of their home institution and potentially the site(s) of the other participating institutions (through dialogue, images, site/floor plans etc) or extend these ideas beyond the locality and history of the institution to engage with broader concepts of site.
