Play and Improvisation: Drawing as Process

Saturday, February 7 11am-3pm

Presented by Mercedes Teixido

Surrealist drawing engages drawing as an event. Fluxus used the idea of a prompt to activate the making of an art piece. Collaboration and the disruption of strict representation allow for all kinds of impulses to arise and land on the paper. This workshop is an invitation to enter the fluxus and surrealist mindset through historic exercises and even our own invented games. Be prepared for your making to outpace your thinking as we let ourselves be guided by unexpected and unnamable sources.
