What is the relationship between ‘drawer’ and ‘drawn’ in the moment of drawing?
Does drawing enable immediate sensuous presence in relation to its object?
How might the sustained attention of drawing be characterized? What is
the role of immediacy, mediation, meditation, repetition?
What role do empathy, intensity and materiality play in drawing? What role do order, analysis and clarity play in drawing?
Is drawing a meaningful activity? If so, in what way? Do drawings have
meaning? Is their meaning objective, subjective or both?
What does drawing say about desire? Is drawing a form of
appropriation, a will-to-possess, a way of taking hold of things? Or
does it imply a moment of dispossession, a surrender of ‘self’ in search
of a new understanding?
Do accident, loss of control and the properties of the medium influence thinking?
Does drawing offer a mode of engagement that enables understanding the
world in terms of ‘becoming’ rather than ‘being’, in terms of dynamic
processes rather than static objects?
Does drawing reduplicate the world or can it transform it? Is it a kind of metamorphosis?

Thinking Through Drawing - The Show
Deadline is August 15, 2015 for this international exhibition in London.
https://drawingandcognition.wordpress.com/we-all-draw-thinking-drawings-the-show/
Announcing Thinking through Drawing open exhibition, 2015:
We All Draw: Thinking Drawings 5-9th November 2015
Deadline for submissions: August 15th
Thinking through Drawing are pleased to announce our open exhibition, as part of the 2015 International Symposium: WE ALL DRAW.
We invite all practitioners who use drawing and sketching in their practice, to submit examples of ‘drawings that think’ to be exhibited at the Bargehouse, Southbank, London from the 5th to 8th of November.
When do surgeons use drawing? How do science teachers use drawing? Why does the engineer use drawing? How can drawing be used as a social practice? Where do artists draw? Does drawing facilitate dialogue? Could a drawing resolve a dispute? Does drawing promote wellbeing? Can a drawing sing?
We encourage you to send drawings made privately in your sketchbook or studio as a part of your preliminary working process, as well as ‘finished’ drawings that are a product of a thinking process, that facilitate a certain state of mind, or function as a tool for thought. We welcome everything from spontaneous drawings on the back of envelopes to sustained drawings on traditional drawing papers, providing they can be folded into an A4 envelope (9” by 11”).
*** Please note: there is a SUBMISSION FEE of £25, to cover the cost of the venue, hanging and return shipment. ***
