Organised by the Drawing Research Group at Loughborough University
The second event of the DRN series of Drawing in Relation events at Loughborough University is concerned with entanglements of agency and affect. The artists present work that is informed by art theoretical narratives of embodiment and new materialist conceptions of post human and more than human intra-actions. They are interested in the way that phenomenologies of space, atmosphere and site affect the form and structure of expanded practices of drawing, how a new materialist lens creates opportunities for thinking about who or what draws in arts practice research as they trouble the nature of and agency and subjectivity through drawing intra-actions within a specific place.
Kiera O’Toole’s drawings are created in-situ, often in response to a particular environment such as a beach or a cave. O’Toole refers to her drawings as ‘felt maps’ to describe the recording of the phenomenological emotional experience of a site’s atmosphere through a gestural and embodied approach. O’Toole states that ‘The drawings attempt to record something that is neither a thing nor a quasi-thing but something more felt than thought.’ Joanna Leah describes her drawing practice as kinetic relations informed by an artistic concept from Rosalind Krauss’s Essay ‘Horizontality’ of 1997 as it allows her to think about the dynamic relationships between body, vision, space and ground. Leah's bodily movement through drawing questions the agency of a drawing surface, and the artists states that "between choreography and drawing, action and space, there is a kinetic relational import of body, as ‘bodily disturbance’ (Bois & Krauss, 1997: 27), in relation to the horizontal plane as place that can provoke new kinetic phenomena." A collaboration between Camille Courier and Laura Winn explores the notion of symbiosis through Barad’s concept of intra-action (Barad, 2007). Their examination of geological drawings by Marie Tharp aims to bring to light an example of a rare symbiotic relationship connecting drawing, the ocean floor and maps made through sonars and photographs. Their hybrid methodology blends practice in art-based research and organizational change processes, deeply linked to political issues. Courier and Winn describe how Tharp intra-acted among and with many materialities to invent an invisible undersea topography despite sexism and technological challenges.
The session will be chaired by Penny Davis.
