\"\"Seminar V: Re:Making\u00a0<\/i><\/b>(Autumn 2015)
\nSeminar V\u00a0is devised as primarily a set of \u00a0two day events, under the theme of ‘Re:Making’ – a consideration of what it means to make and re-make ideas, objects and processes. The sessions provide key prompts or challenges for collaborative engagement, but without necessarily stipultaing required outcomes. Instead the sessions are intended as a open spaces to explore and experiment. \u00a0Working together we can observe and draw upon the range of decisions we each seem to make intuitively as we approach the ‘research’ in hand. Re:Making<\/em> is a response to Ian Dawson’s suggestion at a past\u00a0seminar that we aim to work together, and intensively, to question what it is we do and think when making, writing and researching. As he puts it in his book\u00a0Making Contemporary Sculpture\u00a0<\/em>(2012):<\/p>\n

But what of the artists, the makers, how do they make decisions? Sculpture departments in art schools across the world maintain their foundries, ensuring that an essential principle is practically available, but now an artist is as likely to atomise or extrude or draw; print, wear or perform with objects as part of an adaptable practice. And since art has been transformed into aesthetic communication it is no longer traditions but messages that count, reflecting the information age.<\/p>\n

[We might consider that artists] work unsystematically, that the processes they are involved in can be both simultaneously mindful and mindless, and that gestures that later might become iconic are sown from simple intuitive responses, and come from a stance of not knowing; that artists, irrespective of the scale of their work, endeavour to work from a position of unfamiliarity, the act of discovery still the bedrock of the making process. (Dawson,\u00a0Making Contemporary Sculpture<\/em>, 2012, p.9)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n


\nProgramme<\/strong><\/p>\n

Saturday 17\u00a0October (11am – 1pm)
\n<\/strong>Drawing Together
\n<\/span>Venue: Discovery Centre, Winchester<\/strong>
\nThrough the medium of chalk and shadows Drawing Together brings people together in a shared act of drawing. Visitors to the Discovery Centre are invited to draw together as a means to draw ourselves together if only fleetingly, just as our shadows are mere fleeting images of ourselves. This act of drawing upon the ground of the city in which we live and work is intended to mark a temporary reflection of ourselves as individuals and as a community. (Organised by Cheng-Chu Weng and Sunil Manghani).\u00a0Further Details…<\/a><\/p>\n
