WHAT IS DRAWING? It is what you think.

Jo Lane

"Contemporary drawing is often described in terms of an expanded field, implying that it is somehow a defined and bounded land to be crossed or conquered." Dr Fran Norton
The lecture will outline and discuss Jo Lane's experience of the Masters of Drawing programme at University of Arts London, and how she learnt Drawing can be used in any way imaginable to connect to the world of the subconscious, the aesthetic, the immediate and the valuable.  Jo will elaborate on these contemporary concepts as she experienced them and inspire minds to open to the possibilities of Drawing's potential. While her practice is specific to her, she will discuss many types of practices that are now considered Drawing. *In the 21st Century, drawing is understood to be ‘inherently spatial, performative and embodied; a reflexive, analytical and self-referential way of thinking; related to looking, seeing and observing; able to affect, create and occupy space; intrinsically temporal in its becoming, value and take up; a visual language able to translate, communicate and articulate; a process of mapping active, emotional and temporal space in ways that can make it visible, readable and even real. However, like any map, drawing is a subjective distillation of information, inherently inaccurate and always in need of revision. (*from MA Drawing Course Handbook)
Images will be projected on to screen during lecture. Artist floor talk will follow with some other exhibiting artists available to chat about their work.
