DRN announcement
As a field drawing research is blossoming. In the art schools and studios, academies and laboratories, through creative practice and innovative theory, the drawing community is building novel partnerships across a range of disciplines. Through these networks, drawing research is revealing a new and powerful relevance as a tool for uncovering the traces of thought drawn on the world.
In celebration of this outpouring of work the DRN Conference on Drawing Knowledge, a festival of diversity in drawing research, will be taking place at Loughborough University on September the 10th and 11th, 2012. The conference will host international delegates representing a range of research from the arts, design, sciences, performance, theory and practice.
We are proud to confirm that along with a presentations from more than 40 researchers and practitioners in the field, together with a host of drawing performances, there will be a digital art exhibition curated by Sue Golliffer of Brighton University.
The conference keynote speakers are:
Emma Robertson -Drawing practitioner and writer from the University of New South Wales?
David Dernie - Architect and drawing theorist from DeMontfort University
Jordan Mackenzie - Performance artist extraordinaire
Iain McCaig - Draughtsman, concept artist and visualizer for screen
We would like to invite all colleagues in the world of drawing and drawing research to join us in Loughborough for the conference.
