Description/Abstract:

This text will aim to propose drawing is the meeting of thinking and performativity, akin to a phenomenology of the paradoxical. Paradoxical because when we make a drawing, i.e., make visible something or visualise something, we are at the same time in the process of hiding or concealing something else. That something else will here to be understood to denote the drawing-in-itself. Not the thing presented or its resulting appearance. As such, reveal that which was always present but not visible.

This will be to unpack a recent work entitled Clearing 2021. A performative drawing that contests the role and assertion that drawing is a means to cover, as such debating whether this simply intensifies the production of the virtual and appearance as opposed to the inner truth that drawing is an immersion through that duality of material and action. This means to expand upon key aspects of phenomenology and the role of materiality (Heidegger), embodiment (Levinas) and incorporation (Husserl & Merleau-Ponty).
