This workshop invites participants to explore the medium of drawing to its boundaries. It encourages you to use drawing as a starting point to discover urban voids and transform them into projection surfaces for new mental and drawn visions.
Paths and roads are like drawn lines. Voids and interspaces invite us to develop new narratives and to imagine utopias - whether in the physical space of the city or in the imagination.
In Ersilia, to establish the relationships that sustain the city’s life, the inhabitants stretch strings from the corners of the houses, white or black or gray or black-and-white according to whether they mark a relationdhip of blood, of trade, authority, agency. When the strings become so numerous that you can no longer pass among them, the inhabitants leave: the houses are dismantled; only the strings and their supports remain. (Italo Calvino (1972) Invisible Cities)
The workshop would like to encourage you to discover the graphical qualities of urban space in all its diversity and to think about unusual materials and approaches. We will move through the urban space together, capturing movement and traces, crossing borders and reflecting on connections between inside and outside, fiction and reality. In an introductory event, we approach the questions of utopian world concepts, especially in the field of drawing. We will discuss what we understand by urban interstices, what possibilities they offer and how we can explore and redefine them artistically. We will also discuss our approach for the week, during which we will draw both in urban space and at the university. The focus of the workshop is on practical work, which will be accompanied by critical discourse. Studiovisits and/or exhibitions will be integrated to deepen our experiences.
