I participated in 'In other tongues', at Dartington Hall, Totnes. This was a symposium organised by Art.dot.earth. Researchers and artists from various fields congregated to exchange views on our ways to communicate with other creatures and nature. A very inspiring event! I got the chance to show my little video "Moving lines' in the Thursday night's video screening session. I participated in a workshop with Tatia Nichols-Arles and Patricia Brien, and in another workshop with Stuart Mugridge.
Stuart Mugridge currently works on a PhD where he bases the production of text and language on the basis of the exhaustion component of the running experience! Well, that made for truly interesting conversations and Patricia and Tatia's workshop made us participate in a deep listening exercise. Both workshops were highly relevant to my practice.
Many of the symposium's presentations pointed me in the direction to view my running/drawing practice under the header of 'gesture'....as an expression of inner events, as a response to things going on outside and to the relevance of metaphor in my work.
