Drawings done during Miscontinuum opera at Barbican, February 2015. Biro pen, A4 paper sheets.
Miscontinuum: two drawings
Ideas: experiments
13-jan : Iconography+crumpled paper tracing - at which point the sign is not working anymore?
- drawing with light: how can shadow from a 3d part of drawing be a part of the drawing, too?
- drawing breaking out to space: a mix of drawing and 3d objects of line- like quality: thread, paper cuts, matchsticks.
- Rorschach tests, ink drawing by bending the paper.
11 jan: Folding the paper: a sequence of drawings made througholding the paper 1,23 times, etc. What the algorithm for such folding could be?
9 Jan : Family tree: connecting standing matchsticks with thread, add names of relatives to matchsticks.
8 Jan: resistance of form. Fold the letters, tie the paper on which the letters are printed with thread and test how these forms resist the tention. (This te had been completed. Outcome: there is also a tension when you physically hold a resulting object, a strive to open and see the letter fully, without the bend. Feeling of psychological discomfort).
Evening at The Showroom Gallery: drawing as a map
I spent yesterday evening at The Showroom gallery, drawing as we listened to a sound piece from Graeme Thomson and Silvia Maglioni.
It took forever getting ready to exist: UIQ (the unmaking-of) - non-existent film by Felix Guattari
In the artists' words:
“A small community of envisionaries are invited to inhabit a zone of autonomous temporality where they become the hosts, receivers and transmitters of UIQ, contaminating each other in turn with their own visions and ideas of Guattari’s film and of UIQ’s possible manifestations, both within and beyond its limits.”
The soundwork recombines fragments of recordings of these “seeances” in a composition of myriad voices and electronic signals, elements that circulate in the Showroom gallery space, offering visitors glimpses of a missing film and universe that, though invisible, may begin to affect their own vision.

Charley Peters - Drawings in Space
Drawing can articulate our relationship to space and location, and the experiential act of drawing in-situ is central to how we record the world and our encounters with it. Experiences of drawing on location also allow an exploration of the nature of drawing itself, its relationship with materials, processes and the drawing surface.
