Drawing||Phenomenology: tracing lived experience through drawing Drawing Research Network Conference 19th-20th September 2017 Conveners: TRACEY School Members, Loughborough University The conference aims to investigate and consider the role of drawing as a means to explore and trace our lived experience of the world. This theme relates to a growing area of current research being undertaken by researchers within the School of the Arts, TRACEY School Members Group. The research stems from an interest in what many practitioners/theorists acknowledge as fundamental attributes of drawing: that it is an intimate and immediate process and medium capable of recording the trace of the drawer’s thoughts and bodily movements. The act of drawing is said to reduce the space between the drawer and the drawing, leaving marks on the surface regardless of erasure, subsequently creating a visible trace of both the process of making and the drawer’s thoughts. The conference aims to discuss and debate these widely accepted attributes of drawing to question whether and/or how drawing really can be thought of as phenomenology. The conference aims to provide a space for discussion, dissemination and the exchange of knowledge. TRACEY is committed to the promotion of practice-led research and the interrelationship of theory and practice. Therefore, the conference schedule includes academic research papers in the mornings and a series of practical drawing workshops in the afternoons, to encourage debate and promote thinking through making.
