Negotiating Space is giant experimental 1km long line drawing by international artist Luke Jerram.  

Made of 1000m of 20cm wide magenta ribbon, the fabric will take over the exterior of the Grade II* Listed RWA Art Gallery before entering a window of the building and then exploring the historic art gallery.  

“RWA were looking for an art intervention, that would help celebrate and advertise their latest exhibition inside the building. This artwork is both a simple sculptural intervention of the space outside the museum and an experimental three-dimensional drawing. It’s been great fun, developing this new experimental project with the team. We’re literally taking a line, for a walk!” Luke Jerram 

A large-scale experimental drawing, the artwork is a joyful response to the ‘RWA’s Summer of Textiles’ - a season of exhibitions and events that are bursting with colour, narratives and texture.
