Postal Drawing Project

Nina Chua | A Prompt for a Drawing

A Prompt for a Drawing
Nina Chua
13 November – 19 December 2020

Trinity Buoy Wharf Drawing Prize 2020 shortlisted artist Nina Chua invites you to participate in a drawing exercise devised as a one of a kind exchange. Participants will receive a unique handwritten prompt for a drawing—not an instruction or a fully-fledged idea, just a word, mark or a phrase on a sheet of paper to spark a response. Each prompt will highlight an aspect of Chua's practice and attitude towards drawing. In sharing these she hopes to generate an exchange and for participants to explore through making drawings of their own, following in the history of postal art projects.

Sign-up
If you would like to recieve Chua's drawing prompt, please email exhibitions@dundee.ac.uk with the subject line 'A Prompt for a Drawing', your name and postal address or request a collection at the gallery from 13 November. Prompts can be requested anytime from now. On receiving a prompt, participants will be asked to make a drawing on the same sheet of paper and invited to share it with others on the gallery’s website or social media.

No prior experience required to participate.
