Studio. Ad Hoc : Ruth Beale and Nina Gerada

8 Dec 2012

Overview

At once a laboratory, a workshop, a salon, a theatre and a library, the Studio is a space where we meet, discuss, read and examine works. Artist Ruth Beale has designed special shelving and furniture for our event space on the first floor at DRAF and will host a series of ‘kitchen conversations’. For the second session of the Ad Hoc Salon Series, Ruth Beale invites artist Nina Gerada, an Urban Designer and graduate of the Bartlett and London Metropolitan University architecture schools, who runs an informal drawing group in East London. Gerada will host an experimental drawing workshop in the Studio, using different drawing techniques, media and materials to draw in a playful and free manner. The session will also include a general discussion about Nina and the groups interests, and the desire to draw. Nina's past projects include 'Map Conversations' a participative and conversational drawing process, and work with RARA (the Redundant Architects Recreation Association) and a team of young designers to convert a disused library in Walthamstow into a community centre.
