REGISTER - NIALL HOBHOUSE (DRAWING MATTER)

In this podcast Mary Vaughan Johnson and Andrew Clancy interview Niall Hobhouse of Drawing Matter. Niall and his collection are such a valuable and important part of the contemporary architectural scene it is difficult to imagine it without this presence. Yet it is a rare and fragile thing. It is by no means obvious that a collection could be made which celebrates the doubts of creative production, and which reiterates the changing yet abiding value of the drawing as a site of critical enquiry. In the archives at shatwell, and in the many publications, exhibitions and educational programmes run by the archive there is a clear voice - one which is scholarly and playful, one that understands the collection as a living engine of thinking. Next week you are all welcome to join us in Kingston for the Frascari Symposium - which we are hosting here on the 27th and 28th July 2019. You are all welcome to join us as we explore the secret lives of drawings and models. http://kingstonarchitecture.london/frascari-symposium-iv-the-secret-lives-of-architectural-drawings-and-models-kingston-architecture-and-landscape-june-2019/ --------- Credits: Registegr is the Research Centre in the Department of Architecture & Landscape at the Kingston School of Art, Kingston University London kingstonarchitecture.london Head of Department: Mary Johnson Producer: Laura Evans / Andrew Clancy Register: Christoph Lueder; Matt Wells; Matt Philips Interviewer: Andrew Clancy and Mary Johnson Editor: Andrew Clancy Music: Poddington Bear - Rainbow Architecture
