Experiences of Ageing
Lucy Lyons
http://www.museion.ku.dk/whats-on/exhibitions/experiences-of-ageing/

This exhibition presents drawings and objects from a 2-year postdoctoral research fellowship by the London artist Lucy Lyons. Lucy uses drawing as a method for gaining understanding of unfamiliar objects and to develop greater insight into the familiar – in this case the sometimes overlooked everyday aspects of ageing. The drawing process involves being in the presence of objects and spending a significant amount of time looking at them. Lucy Lyons collected her research in large bound books which are displayed in the exhibition along with a single set of prints made specifically for this exhibition and a selection of the investigated objects.

These very sketchy, quick drawings seem to convey so much through a few lines.

I particularly was drawn to the idea that rollators are an essential and beautiful object.

I don't think that there is much beauty within mobility aides and objects to assist with everyday living. Perhaps this is another idea I would like to explore. Aesthetic beauty in the everyday functional objects.

 

The Drawing Room

"Drawing Room is the only public, non-profit gallery in the UK and Europe dedicated to the investigation and presentation of international contemporary drawing."


Centre for Recent Drawing

"Centre for Recent Drawing is London’s museum space for drawing. Since 2004 C4RD has provided a public exhibition space and exhibition series that is independent and non-commercial, and is a member of the Museum Association of the UK. C4RD is in the unique position of being able to provide a whole building dedicated to drawing - showing continuous exhibitions of a broad variety of drawing practice - and also be able to house residencies specifically for those for whom drawing is a core part of their practice."
