Body and Place is an ongoing series of annual summer drawing residencies which take the model outside the confines of the life room. The aim is to free life drawing from its usual staid environment and breathe new energy into it. The residencies offer an opportunity for artists of all disciplines, including sculptors, and at all stages of their careers, including those who do not normally or regularly draw from the figure, to work under the guidance of skillful and passionate tutors in extraordinary surroundings.
In 2024, BODY and PLACE returns to Owlpen Manor, a private 200 acre estate in the Cotswolds, Gloucestershire for four days of exploratory workshops led by revelatory and passionate tutors including Martin Morris. Participating artists are selected by theCOLAB Director Claire Mander and a panel of experts in the field of drawing including Ketty Gottardo, Courtauld Institute of Art; Roger Malbert, writer and curator, author of books on contemporary drawing; Nina Wisnia, artist and Patron of the Arts; Luce Garrigues, London Art Week and Sarah Dwyer, artist and past residency participant.
You will be expected to pay for travel to and from the residencies both within and outside London and for any international travel. theCoLAB will provide meals during the residency.
