Walking and drawing
OPEN CALL
PSIAX
Studies and Reflections on Drawing and Image
2nd series, nº 4
The next issue of PSIAX journal focuses on the question: "How walking and drawing intersect". What works, art pieces, projects or theoretical considerations allow us to show, and to question, the act of walking, of wandering, as well as its joint - intertwined - purpose of drawing? In the well-known expression of the Spanish poet A. Machado, we can read that "there is no road, the road is made by walking”. Within this sense, which overruns the idea of a method, of a path already known, we could say that the act of drawing is done with the "walking" of drawings but also within the possibility of, while walking, the draftsman giving meaning to the power of drawing. Whether as a travel experience, as a short break in the territory's journey, as an exercise in analysing or recording the landscape, or as a projective, poetic or performative action.
What practices, themes, contents, and what results, allow to simultaneously integrate the gesture of drawing and the experience of the walker, the flâneur, the traveler or the passerby?
Thus, drawings, artistic projects, images, papers, essays, contextualizing or critical texts are intended to account for and / or problematize the experience of walking / drawing.
