"For this performance I worked with @rubydreww, a talented young musician and performer who improvised with samples taken from my studio with live electronics. We responded to each others visuals and sounds in real time to produce this work, which is pastel, graphite and gesso on canvas."
- Claire Zakiewicz
Field of Action is an art project at the Canning Gallery, curated by Draw to Perform's founder and director Ram Samocha. The project will start on Saturday 5th March with a day of live drawing and painting performances by 14 local and international artists.
Booking required (donation only)
The audience will be able to drop in throughout the day, watch the various performances and participate in some of the action.
The remains of these performances will be installed and displayed in the gallery space for two weeks, allowing visitors the opportunity of looking at them not only in the context of live art products but also as independent works of art that were created live in the gallery space and not in the artist's studio.The day of performance and the following exhibition aims to open questions around the relevancy and the position of the artist's presence in our time, the creative process and the alternative ways of making art on-site. It also aims to explore the relevancy of the final product of art, its production and the options of sharing it today. It attempts to understand the impact of those objects as individual works of art suitable for display not only in the context of live art remnants but also as works which stand for themselves and hold appeal within of the contemporary evolving art scene.
As part of this project there will also be drawing performance workshops on Sat 12th and Sun 13th (10:00-12:00), and a panel discussion with participating artists on Sun 13th (15:00-17:00).
