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\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe term 'performance drawing' first appeared in the subtitle of Catherine de Zegher's\u003ci\u003e Drawing Papers 20: Performance Drawings\u003c\/i\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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\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.","brand":"Bloomsbury Visual Arts","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45035033067671,"sku":"9781350287358","price":3182.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781350287358.webp?v=1769211344","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/performance-drawing-new-practices-since-1945-9781350287358","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
