TBC Artists’ Collective is a group of three London-based artists – Beverley Bennett, Charley Peters and Laura Davidson – who have a shared interest in drawing and its role in contemporary art practice.
TBC projects often engage the collective with other artists, academics, writers and curators, who are invited to participate based on their individual perspectives on drawing. They engage with these ideas through their online project space; 12-Pages. Always keen to challenge creative identities and generate new ideas, TBC’s 12-Pages Online Project Space enables contributors to regularly produce new work by means of short deadlines and notional themes, often instigating fresh lines of inquiry. 12-Pages Magazine, since 2010, has sought to document each key stage in the development of these and other of the collective’s investigations.
Other projects include their 2010 show Delineation: Contemporary Dialogues with Drawing, for example, commented on the presence of drawing within various art practices by involving film, sculpture, photography, sound, performance and painting. They are currently exhibiting at Rich Mix, London and the National College of the Arts, Lahore as a culmination of the Arts Council funded project Slice: London to Lahore. Slice commissioned new work from UK and Pakistan based artists in response to each city.
As well as working together on local and international exhibitions, commissions and publications, TBC
Artists’ Collective actively involves itself in research-led and interventionist projects. This is evidenced
in their long-term project ‘A Message To...’ The project has previously taken members of TBC to Oxford,
UK. At the end of August 2011, TBC traveled to Houston, Texas and installed further works for the project.
