Site~Emergent~Ecologies~Landscapes : Drawing translations within/between the photographic document.

Site~Making~Fieldworks.

Borderlands.

Alternative Photography.

Enchantments and Crossings : Somatic Effects~Enchantments





Topologies, mappings and their correspondences (thinking~feeling) between here, there, and elsewhere.

Playing with 'phronesis' a poetics of a spatial encounter and its enclosure forming an immediate immersive environment.

Developing inquiry through a process of familiarization and not-knowing, being undone by theory where things emerge, are accumulated, and are nurtured into being through relations (Continuous~weather-world sites) with human bodies and spatial bodies.  

Archiving materials, sites and events, resulting in an incidental aesthetic gathering.

The OLD WAYS, a JOURNEY ON FOOT, Robert Macfarlane

Walking was a means of personal myth-making, but it also shaped his everyday longings:

Edward Thomas not only thought on paths and of them, but also with them.

To Thomas, paths connected real places but they also led out-wards to metaphysics, backwards to history and inward to the self. These traverses- between the conceptual, the spectral and the personal-occur often without signage in his writing, and are among its most characteristic events. He imagined himself in topographical terms.

Rendering Visible : Heuristic Mappings/Assemblages and the Production of Open Subjectivities

Visual material must capture non visible forces. Render visible, not render of reproduce the visible
Deleuze and Guattari

Interior : Gridshell

A Hut of One's Own, Ann Cline

For Irigaray, wonder corresponds to time, to space-time before and after that which can delimit. 
Wonder constitutes an opening prior to and following that which surrounds/enlaces.

The Intuition of The Infine

The intuition of a subject that at each point in the present remains unfinished and open to a becoming of the other that is neither simply passive nor simply active.

The Poetics of Space : The house, from cellar to garret. The significance of the hut.

"He will revive the primitivity and the specificity of the fears. In our civilization, which has the same light everywhere, and puts electricity in its cellars, we no longer go to  the cellar carrying a candle. But the unconscious cannot be civilized. It takes a candle when it goes to the cellar."

Gaston Bachelard.

Prints From Secrets and Ambiguity
Is there still an aesthetic illusion? And if not, a path to an “aesthetic” illusion, the radical illusion of secret, seduction and magic? Is there still, on the edges of hypervisibility, of virtuality, room for an image?
— Jean Baudrillard, The Conspiracy of Art, 2005

Jana Sterbak
Remote Control 1989

A heuristic technique (/hjᵿˈrɪstᵻk/; Ancient Greek: εὑρίσκω, "find" or "discover"), often called simply a heuristic, is any approach to problem solving, learning, or discovery that employs a practical method not guaranteed to be optimal or perfect, but sufficient for the immediate goals.

Making exteriorises and extends internal capacities and conditions

 Outpost 161123


The process of making is a magical act, organic and physiological. 

Making exteriorises and extends internal capacities and conditions.

Tim Ingold.





The new virtual social spaces are changing actual physical space.


The virtual world continues to overlap with the real one, further weakening of the boundaries between the two domains is inevitable.


Drawing Concepts/Identities.

Gathering Situatedness.

Nomadology on the relay between points, paths, territories, boundaries, borders and lines.

 


The drawing acts/re-enacts through the forces and flows of materials/matter/media and experience.

 

The Space/Situation of Art as a Sociological Phenomena.






The Drawing Class

10 Days in The Laundry

Drawing-Traces-Bodies-Movements.

The Production of Space/Spatiality.


Line as a Graphic Inquiry.

Johannes Schreiter.


Wellbeing and Mediated Spaces within Drawing.


How I was drawing was far more important than what I was drawing. I decided to abandon figurative representation and actually focus on my own body as a producer. My interest in space mediation is materialised in site-specific works, where the combination of the performance and the specific features of the site, its architecture, history, etc of a particular context determine decisively the appearance of the work.

M. Lohrum.


Resonances/Reverberations (Bachelard) as the performativity between things and of the innate reversibility of inside and outside, such that intimate spaces loose their clarity, whilst exterior spaces loose their sense of void.


For Bachelard, inside and outside, as experienced by the imagination can no longer be taken in their simple reciprocity, consequently by choosing  more concrete, more phenomenologically exact implications/inceptions, we shall come  to realize that the dialectics of inside and outside multiply with countless diversified nuances.


All matter vibrates, causing correspondences between people, things in movement with each other.


Making/Matter/Intervening.

Drawings that are intimately tied/underpin/inquiry/situate into your emotions/sociological self.


Social Contexts Making Artistic Creation.



During the act of drawing, the artist focuses on the physicality, movement, and gesture of their body , or the bodies of others. The resultant drawings work as documentation of the performance, they retain the indexical trace of the performance that produced them.


Drawing practices that are performative, inspired by the uncertain and changeable nature of both our social context and artistic creation.


Performative Drawing explores drawing as a consequence of a residue of a performance or event, as such it is very process oriented, doing things with unknown or unfolding outcomes.


The experiences and knowledges of the body.

Drawings that remain in the  exploratory realm of drawings.


The Drawing needs to be 'read' forward into an ongoing generative movement that is once itinerant, improvisatory and rhythmic. 


Corporeality  in Drawing.

Situated Awareness/Attraction.


Drawing onto the openness of the resonances of bodies.


The Radical Nude, Egon Schiele.

A creative corpus of extreme representations of the human body that  show an ambivalent treatment of sexuality, creation and death.


The Nietzschean Perspective.

Nietzsche explains that ever art, every philosophy may be viewed as a remedy and an aid in the  service of growing and struggling life; they always presuppose suffering and sufferers.






A Philosophy of The Body.

Schiele experimented to see how he could represent the experiences and knowledges of the body by using his own body as an object and as a tool for experimentation.


For Nietzsche, to what extent can truth endure incorporation? That is the question, that is the experiment. This evokes both gleaning the truths of the fleshy and making something lived corporeally, truth is now of and in the body. The body is the source of the soul and of our most valuable forms of knowing.


The naked, primal vulnerability that has been socially and culturally manipulated turning the naked into the nude. 


Marie's body was dedicated to a dance of death, masquerading as the cycle of life. By the time she bore Egon, Marie had already given birth to no fewer than four babies, only one of whom would survive beyond childhood. Egon the male heir was bought into a world in which sexuality, disease and death were not only inextricably intertwined but also oppressively omnipresent, and his art evinces this fearsome reality most memorably in his brutal treatment of the naked body.


Dioysian Ugliness and Radical Beauty in Egon Schiele's oeuvre.

Kathryn Simpson.


Vienna, was saturated both with Nietzsche's actual writings and with the multiple and various Nietzscheanisms. Every educated person was familiar with Nietzsche's Philosophy, indeed the ubiquity of Nietzschean influences can barely be overstated.

The Geography of What Happens : Environment/Perception



The Perception of The Environment, Livelihood, Dwelling and Skill. Tim Ingold.
Archaeology, Anthropology, Art and Architecture.


“ We live amongst the specta of destructive mythologies, that have been narrowly racial, ethnic, denominational and egotistic, all culminating in the condition to exalt the self by demonising the other.”

“Eliot laid bare the sterility of contemporary life, The Waste Land where people live inauthentic lives”

A Short History of Myth, Karen Armstrong
The Ruins, a wasteland, fragments of a spiritual integration.










The Existential Value of Design

“Design as” Tools and Apparatuses for Spatial Practices/Deeper Social Ecologies (crafting and constructing new political genres)

The responsibility of “Design” in the development of an experimental rather than a representational approach to the social sciences, the arts and the humanities.


An Architectural Interior that through “Listening to, and working in the Landscape” can produce a creative reverie, manifested by materials and acts; and through innovation and creativity produce a deeper ecology for learning that is able to keep abreast of our technological genius.


PRACTICAL ISSUES.
The Geography of what happens, Space, Politics and Affect.


DE-Fusing URBANISM

Paths and Thinking with them

The OLD WAYS, a JOURNEY ON FOOT, Robert Macfarlane
“ Walking was a means of personal myth-making, but it also shaped his everyday longings:
 Edward Thomas not only thought on paths and of them, but also with them.”


“To Thomas, paths connected real places but they also led out-wards to metaphysics, backwards to history and inward to the self. These traverses- between the conceptual, the spectral and the personal-occur often without signage in his writing, and are among its most characteristic events. He imagined himself in topographical terms.”

“Macfarlane has a rare physical intelligence, and his writing affords total immersion in place, elements and the passage of time” Antony Gormley

What do I know when I am in this place that I can know nowhere else?

What does this place know of me that I cannot know of myself?
