PROJECT DETAILS
A living mark is an entity in and of itself, made from the energy it describes.
COMPONENTS
1 Movement Expert - dance instructor, yoga instructor, choreographer, martial arts instructor
1 Art Director - to demonstrate rapid gesture drawing, support drawing session, and direct final mark reproductions
1 Producer - to manage the event, coordinate collaborative efforts and concept development, host for workshop, and product exhibit and reproductions.
6-8 Movement Participants - dancers, yogis, athletes, community members
2-4 Artists - to draw responses to the movements during workshop session
1 Workshop Location and Dates
1 Exhibition Opportunity or Reproduction to share created work
Documentation: Photographer, sound recorder, videographer for process documentation
PROCESS
The concept is selected by the producer and at least 1 other group member determining the direction of the workshop. Concepts may be abstract of concrete, simple or complex, for example: cycles, feathers, inner vs outer, symmetry, or growth.
The movement expert designs a 2 hr movement, meditation and discussion session (yoga asana or choreography) in a physical exploration of the concept.
Workshop participants convene to explore the concept through movement, discussion and drawn marks.
The art director selects one or many of the drawn marks for reproduction and exhibition.
The producer and art director collaborate to create final presented marks.
The producer and documenter(s) collaborate to create final documentation pieces.
Works and documentation are shared.
CONCEPTS
The intention of the workshop is to provide a rich co-creative experience to all participants, and to create a mark that not only contains all of the energy of the process, but is itself that energy.
Related concepts: co-creation, qualities of art form (spoken, movement, drawing), physical translations, teaching and studentship, participation and observation, “how(process)” and “what(drawing),” pinnacle moments.
Shared Ownership: Each artists will retain possession and ownership of his or her individual works, which will be photographed at the end of the workshop. Each entity in the group will have ownership, and sharing rights for all digital final works exhibited and shared, including documentation. Any works shared publicly must be attributed to the group members, either individually, or through reference to the group project. All physical works produced by the project will be retained by the project, unless otherwise determined by group consensus.
Subject & Recipient
