Following the lecture i decided to look up some of the artists that were mentioned... searching for Jan Dibbets i came across this image posted on someones blog.. strangely the blog, in appearance is very similar to mine.. http://jennifer-mao.blogspot.com/2009/07/jan-dibbets.html

debate.. drawing vs painting

blurring, smudging - emulates painting
rubbings- remove pencil. create distance by literally taking it away
layers
style of drawing compared to oil glazing
obvious affinities- Gerhard Richter
blurs forms and outline so that they lose any detail or plasticity
linger in the past tense- based on black and white films or photography

unlike 'traditional' drawing- seen as an analytic medium
individual lines remained visible to reveal the hand of the artist
form of visual thinking
performative pencil lines allowed viewers to reconstruct the artist's intellectual and creative process
present tense- never complete- always could imagine continuing the process

obsessive 

repetition

systematic

process

action or event of the making process

performance or event

... make work.

Exhibition i went to a few months ago.  South Audley Street.

Installation in room downstairs.

unexpected. completely different to the work upstairs- did they relate?

no advertisement. text. abstract.

wasn't sure if i liked the piece. really wanted to sit on the bench.

what i did like is the space between the shelter and the seat. the seat rotated, set away from the shelter.

remembering really wanting to sit down

what other objects do we usually see together? would it be unusual to see them apart?

'Taking the exhibition as a medium, Parreno has sought to redefine the exhibition experience by exploring its possibilities as a coherent 'object' rather than a collection of individual works' exhibition leaflet.
