TRACEY Drawing Research Network Conference 9th-10th July 2020
Conveners: Drawing Research Group, Loughborough University<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This conference aims to explore the notion of temporal drawing. By \u2018temporal drawing\u2019 we suggest that temporality is not only inherent in drawing, both as a process and as a product, but is also its fundamental condition. To draw is to draw inescapably in and of time. If to make a mark is to capture the trace of a gesture, then mark-making reveals the movement of time\u2014of the living present becoming past, and of the past contracting into the present. With this dynamism come repetitions and difference: further marks in anticipation of a present yet to come. Thus a drawing traces and is traced by movements that are intangible syntheses of time, and looking closely and slowly at a drawing becomes an act of contemplation that holds motion beneath its surface. And so, we ask: how can we explore the time of drawing? How does time prompt us to think differently about drawing?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The conference aims to provide a space for discussion, dissemination and the exchange of knowledge and suggests the following as starting points and as possible themes, prompts and provocations:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2022 How can drawing \u2018reveal\u2019 in time?
\u2022 Can drawing be timeless?
\u2022 Is stillness possible in and through drawing?
\u2022 What is the role of pace in the processes of making and looking at drawing?
\u2022 How can duration be explored in drawing?
\u2022 How can erasure be explored in drawing? <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The conveners invite proposals from practitioners, theorists and practitioner-researchers, which respond to the theme in ONE of the three listed formats:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
