Derek Sullivan offers a drawing workshop-as-roundtable for all ages. The artist proposes to use drawing as a means to come to understandings and misunderstandings about things. The group will collectively mine back issues of Artforum magazine from the Artexte collection in order to create a sequence of drawings that will be reproduced as a photocopied publication.
Derek Sullivan and Artexte Editions
Derek Sullivan is interested in the legacy of late Modernist art history and design, he replays and intermixes art historical and wider cultural references in his production of artists’ books, drawings, sculptures and ephemeral installations.
With Gareth Long, he is the co-author of the Éditions Artexte publication: The Dictionary of Received Ideas (Galley # 5) (2010). In this galley of the ongoing publication, Long and Sullivan illustrate the letters “A” to “F”, (from “Abelard” to “Fig Leaf”), of Gustave Flaubert’s famous dictionary.
To celebrate this activity, with every purchase of The Dictionary of Received Ideas, Artexte will offer a free book from selected Éditions Artexte publications. This offer is valid from February 20 to March 7 for purchases on-site only.
