Special Issue Call for Papers
DRTP Volume 8 issue 1: ‘Drawing and Movement’
Deadline: 30 August 2022
Movement is inherently embedded into drawing. While producing a drawing, hand and tools move on the paper, but once the process is completed, movement remains. Artists and authors often note that the lines and strokes of a logically 'static' drawing exude dynamism. However, the nature and strength of the relationship between Drawing and Movement has not been completely understood or described.
The concept of Movement has been addressed in both Experimental Sciences and Philosophy in useful ways, and many developments have occurred in the last decades; yet using exogen concepts in the context of drawing is not sufficient. Practices such as sketching or calligraphy provide precious insights on the dynamics of strokes, either in relation to moving bodies or in relation to abstract ideas. Animation and graphic novels, which have a huge importance in popular culture, offer unsuspected experimentation possibilities in terms of explicit and implicit movement. Finally, performative drawings represent an attempt to bind the time of drawing with the time of seeing, either in artistic or pedagogical contexts. In many contexts, material processes can be completed by digital ones, providing new means for expressing movement in drawing practice. Such methods and approaches need to be questioned. With such a large range of experiences, could we develop a ‘non-static’ conception of Drawing? Since Drawing is recognized today as an exploratory approach beyond a conventional practice, could Drawing even change the way we conceive Movement?
This special issue of DRTP invites contributors to address these questions through the scope of their artistic, pedagogical, technical, or scientific research. We invite authors to criticize, actualize and renew our understanding of the material and conceptual tools related to drawing and movement. Drawing: Research, Theory, Practice places particular emphasis on original papers on drawing theories, practices, methods, processes, and research that adopt inventive interpretations of drawing.
