What is 'performance drawing'? 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. The term
'performance drawing' first appeared in the subtitle of Catherine
de Zegher's Drawing Papers 20: Performance Drawings, 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. Featuring 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. While 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.
