When does a drawing turn into a performance? Is the act of drawing in itself a performative process, whether a viewer is present or not? Through conversation, interviews and essays, the authors illuminate these questions, and what it might mean to perform, and what it might mean to draw, in a diverse and expressive contemporary practice since 1945.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe term \u003cem\u003eperformance drawing\u003c\/em\u003e first appeared in the subtitle of Catherine de Zegher’s \u003cem\u003eDrawing Papers 20: Performance Drawings\u003c\/em\u003e, in particular with reference to Alison Knowles and Elena del Rivero. In this book, it is used as a trope, and a thread of thinking, to describe a process dedicated to broadening the field of drawing through resourceful practices and cross-disciplinary influence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFeaturing a wide range of international artists, this book presents pioneering practitioners, alongside current and emerging artists. The combination of experiences and disciplines in the expanded field has established a vibrant art movement that has been progressively burgeoning in the last few years. The Introduction contextualises the background and identifies contemporary approaches to performance drawing. As a way to embrace the different voices and various lenses in producing this book, the authors combine individual perspectives and critical methodology in the five chapters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhile embedded in ephemerality and immediacy, the themes encompass body and energy, time and motion, light and space, imagined and observed, demonstrating how drawing can act as a performative tool. The dynamic interaction leads to a collective understanding of the term, performance drawing, and addresses the key developments and future directions of this applied drawing process.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Allen \u0026 Unwin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47597497090284,"sku":"9781350287358","price":62.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781350287358-performance-drawing.jpg?v=1777953969","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/performance-drawing-by-birgitta-hosea-9781350287358","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
