Program Description

“The Invisible Realm of Possibility” DRAWinternational: Drawing Research Action Works in partnership with L'AIR Arts Paris February 20 - April 12th (7 weeks) A full month of creative practice at DRAWinternational, following which Residency artists will travel to Paris for a two-week program of research, exploration and reflection with L’AiR Arts, as well as exhibiting their work at FIAP Paris. DRAWinternational residency program continues to expand notions of drawing: to cater for creative people in pursuit of new and dynamic form, in preparation for exhibition, publication or postgraduate qualification and support artists in their professional practice/research. The project will focus upon notions of intention and the physical act of drawing as it arrives as a vectorial force on a material surface. One could say, an infrastructure from where other possibilities collide, from common habitual behaviours toward the realm of the unknown. See full programme details at www.lairarts.com
