âdrawing Room explores aspects of âWithdrawalâ, the last stage of VP’s Mid-life Crisis⢠to be explored this year. The project deploys an array of moving images, audio, screens and technological remnants to collapse the distance between architecture and media, imagining Poolside gallery as a ground zero for future growth – expanding outward into adjacent spaces in Artspace, the city, and the world.
