hi
I am a MA Drawing as Process student at Kingston. As part of a research module, I am considering whether it is possible to completely lose conscious control when making a drawing, e.g. not make conscious decisions about a mark or media etc, and what are the outcomes in this type of process. I will be looking at automatic drawing as part of this so thank you for some names to look out for. We have just had a really interesting visiting lecturer called Jordan McKenzie who talks about his drawing process as a 'fully embodied' experience and may be of interest to you. My lecturer also reccommended that I look at Dionysian theory/cult .
good luck
Jane

Subject: Automatic drawing
Dear All
I am a student at Norwich School of Art, researching for a dissertation on the above. It is based around the automatic drawing practice of Unica Zurn, and the artists who encouraged her in this; Hans Bellmer and Henri Michaux. Choosing these artists is partly a 'hook' on which to hang an examination of automatic drawing in relation to mental illness, libido and language.
What I'm puzzled about is how automatic drawing is currently viewed:
- Is there any interest or research?
- Is there any consensus on what it is?
Any help or advice would be gratefully received.
Thanks
Tim Mellors
