We seem to be exploring a range of performance drawing, but the idea of participation in our drawing is something we have not tackled yet. Feels like we need to. It may or may not be what we want to do?
I found a show from same artist called CONVERSATION (2009), that used participants in quite an intimate way. It was made during a series of conversations which took place at gallery in Canberra Australia over 3 days. The artist archived these conversations through drawing on a piece of linen hanging at torso level. The drawing happened between the face of the conversation partner and the artist's face. The aim was to investigate and archive the intensity created/provoked between people during such conversations. The drawing outcome revealed shapes, simplified silhouettes/portraits of the participants.
This is quite an intimate way of working - I like the use of drawing as a way of recording that proximity and intensity.

Yes Tracey with regards to the participatory part of our work I think we need to discuss it. My thoughts are if we do it, its got to be no
ReplyDeleteboundaries. Just say that we invite people to draw there feelings/ experience/ perception or what they see on the night and let them go
with it.
