What's a "Portrait Drawing Round Robin"? Participants get together for a few hours to create portrait drawings of each other and construct a wall sized portrait “matrix” of the completed drawings. Lots of things go on in this process and the completed grids are mesmerizing. The Round Robins create a unique kind of group portraiture that turns the traditional power relationships of portraiture on their head. The Portrait Drawing Round Robin form was created by artist Peter Walsh in 2009.

My thanks go out first and foremost to all the round robin artists for working so hard to make this experiment work. Jed Dodds at the Creative Alliance in Baltimore was a pleasure to work with. Thanks Jed! Many thanks to Max Goldfarb of the Incident Report Viewing Station and the Hudson Opera House The Round Robin at Trade School was a big success thanks to Grand Opening and OurGoods. Particular thanks are due to Carolyn Woolard and Louise Ma. Many thanks also to University of Trash organizer Michael Cataldi for creating a platform that was perfectly suited for the round robin and to Sculpture Center for allowing us to use their space. |
