What form could a stream of thoughts take?
During my residency, I have researched the form of body, written and drawing language.
After almost two months of being immerse in my practice and its rhythms and movements, I had the opportunity to organise the work for the viewing of an open studio. This occasion was very beneficial to organise spatially some outcomes of my residency in the whole building of DRAWinternational.
The research has been a physical way of thinking-making, navigating and discovering. The work is performative and follows a thread and system of action, response, navigation with intentionally injecting a sense of play.
My aim for the open studio was for the audience to move between the different works, so that they could experience a physical journey through my research, got an immersion in the process expansion, and develop their own response and links. I felt that the physical journey and the movement between the rooms was integral to the exhibition. We cannot either underestimate the impact of exhibiting in the context of the space of creation.
While there was no specific “message” in the work, I could recognise some plastic themes, that become more apparent when I placed intentionally artworks in space in relationship to each other and the building.
Seeing things on a flat screen is very different from the physical experience, yet I will be sharing in the next blog posts the 5 different spaces that display some outcomes of my residency. (you might need to scroll back up to get a the documentation in the order of the physical exhibition).
