Drawn to experience is a group exhibition of performed drawings that discuss multi-disciplinary practice of drawing: an active, expansive and inclusive act.
This exhibition endeavors to identify understandings and methods of image generation through performed drawing or Performance Drawing. Performance Drawing, is physical, gestural and enables an inclusive form of cultural interaction, which incorporates the artist, the act of drawing as performance and the body as conductor, audience, participant and/or model.
As an interdisciplinary exhibition Drawn to Experience will consist of works on paper, digital drawings, photographic/video performance documentation and a live drawing performance.
As a mode of investigation Performance Drawing unravels and explores notions of public and private space, corporeality and immediacy. Drawn to Experience considers the aleatoric process of drawing as an inclusive and interconnected form of cultural interaction between the artist, the act of drawing as performance and the audience/or model.
