Our final term at Eye to Pencil, 'The Drawing Lab', will open with 'Back 2 School'. A show comprised of over 20 alumni who ran graduate drawing workshops from 2022-2024. Their thoughtful yet experimental approaches prompted us to curate this exhibition, testing what a drawing might be and how the medium is used in different contexts. Drawing as theory, fashion - as daydream, map, fantasy - as schematic, a doll, a diagram, and as moving image. Transforming the studio into a reimagined school room the show will run from 17-22 September.

Co-curated by Issey Kang and Alex Heard.
