This event responds to the increasing proportion of artists in the South West working in performative drawing practices, gathering a delegation at a vital time to acknowledge and interrogate this movement and discuss ideas around the future of drawing practice.
With the question of whether contemporary drawing in its current formation finds itself challenged and interrogated by a performative turn, we invite debate around how we understand relationships between the body and drawing, considering:
– Drawing as embodied experience
– Drawing as a voice
– Drawing as performance
– Drawing as knowledge
– Drawing’s place, space and temporality
Keynote: Dr Janette Kerr PPRWA, RSA Hon (Artist and Visiting Research Fellow in Fine Art, UWE)
Supported by: Plymouth College of Art, Ocean Studios, Real Ideas Organisation
An exhibition by artists Marie Taylor (www.marietaylorartist.co.uk) and Beth Heaney (www.bethheaney.blogspot.co.uk) will show alongside the symposium in the Ocean Studios gallery space (PV: Thursday 12th April 6 – 8pm)
