Illuminating the Non-Representable
In 2020-2023, illustration researchers were brought together by Hilde Kramer, University of Bergen, to explore and analyze meaning-making in images in online and in-person symposia, workshops, and exhibitions [ https://www.researchcatalogue.net/view/718740/718741 ]. The endeavour has been supported by the Norwegian Artistic Research Programme.
Asking how illustration in an expanded approach may communicate profound human issues typically considered unrepresentable, this initiative explores representation and the narratives of “us” and “the others” in the contemporary world through illustration as a starting-point for cross-disciplinary projects. Works developed should afford contemplation of illustration as an enhanced, decelerated way of looking; and drawing as a process for understanding - a way of engaging in understanding the other, as much as expressing one’s own needs (McCartney, 2016).
The output has been artistic research through strategies and theories of illustration across media and materials, often unconventional ones.
The three main symposia were Transposition as Artistic Practice (online, 2020), Materiality, Space, and Embodiment (hybrid in Istanbul, 2021), and Illustration and the Non-Representable (in person in Falstad, Norway, 2023). Please follow the links for more information, context, and documentation of the works pursued and talks given to date. https://www.researchcatalogue.net/view/718740/718741 ; https://illuminating.no/ .
Volume 10 Issue #2 of the Journal of Illustration will gather papers, visual essays, and other reports that have resulted. Submissions from those who already participated in any capacity and from those who are inspired by the themes are encouraged to submit.
