You can see us at http://www.lboro.ac.uk/departments/sota/tracey/
In this next invitation for submissions, we are focusing on the theme of Drawing in-situ, particularly in relation to the following questions:
How does drawing on site inform the way we think about place and space?
Can drawing in the landscape act as a mirror to nature?
Does drawing in-situ add authenticity to the visualization of place?
In what way is drawing in-situ a phenomenological act? How does it inform our knowledge and understanding of site?
Is drawing in-situ a speculative strategy?
In contemporary education, how might drawing in-situ be used to challenge and extend a student’s perception and understanding of the site in which they are working? What are the fundamental skills advanced through this activity?
In what ways have contemporary approaches to drawing on site challenged existing orthodoxies concerning the depiction of place and space?
In a digital age, what are the benefits of real-time engagement with site through drawing on location?
A submission may constitute drawings or other visual material, texts or research papers that have not been published before or have been published in a different context and also texts and images combined.
