On reflection, my experience of listening to the ideas thrown about in this workshop keep popping back into my mind.
I wondered if there were any outcomes/learnings from the May 27th workshop (above) that are in the process of being drafted by any of the participants and/or speakers?
Having just visited the 'Drawing Typologies' Exhibition at the Stedelijk in Amsterdam (on show until 16th September) I was wondering if anyone would be interested in looking more closely into drawing and its discourse as a more interventionist form of practice.
I guess what I am thinking about at this moment is how a curated show could be knowingly engaged with as source material to force the pace of cultural change rather more directly. Maybe I think the role given to education officers (please excuse the very UK terminology used here) confers an opportunity to challenge the passive viewer in a more enduring and self-actualising way.
I would be particularly interested in how drawing and its discourse could open up the working/living experience of non-artists. Whatever that term means.
I am very appreciative of the time and effort put into initiating, arranging and organising Summit. I figure I must be one of those people who has a sleepy intellect. Summit seems to have kick started my sleepy inclination. Better late than never.
Regards and best wishes in any future projects you engage in.
