The Thousands

The I WALK THE LINE exhibition at MCA has everyone thinking about HB pencil possibilities, including the National Art School. This week NAS will showcase rarely-seen drawings from their collection, alongside props that they use in class such as taxidermy animals, antlers, replica human skulls and Papua New Guinean artifacts.

With drawings from the master of suspension Ken Unsworth included, the show will be a nice taster for the Unsworth exhibition opening in June on our favourite birdy islet, Cockatoo Island.**Also on Cockatoo Island from the end of May will be a presentation of current NAS student work, held in conjunction with a field guide, which will be opened this week by Mike Parr. The charming Mr Parr will also give a talk later in the month about the significance of drawing to his art practice.

Pencil it all in your diary.
