Drawings by Bartlett Academics Feature in a new Exhibition and Book

‘The Sixth Somewhat Annual Meeting’ is the latest in a series of exhibitions hosted by experimental architecture non-profit A83, presenting sixteen prints by a collective of architects including past and present Bartlett academics.

To accompany the show, A83 will publish Records of the Sixth Somewhat Annual Meeting, a folio which brings the exhibited prints together in 50 limited edition box sets. The exhibition and book celebrate architectural drawing as a dynamic, collaborative, and ever-transformative practice.

They include prints by Bartlett academics Professor Laura Allen, Professor Nat Chard, Professor CJ Lim, Associate Professor Shaun Murray and Professor Mark Smout.

The architects meet regularly to discuss ongoing drawing production. Their meetings serve as a forum for shared reflection and critical interrogation of their images in development, exploring questions of materiality (the archive of printed objects), medium (fine art printmaking techniques), and mediatedness (the affordances of a medium).

‘The Sixth Somewhat Annual Meeting’ will be open to the public from 14 February–21 March at A83, 83 Grand Street, New York 10013. Records of the Sixth Somewhat Annual Meeting will be available online, and can currently be pre-ordered at a 15% discount.
