Closing of Piyali Ghosh Autumn- A Strange Growth

About

Piyali Ghosh will take the audience on a journey. Challenging the two dimensional surface of drawing to how lines exist and occupy the space in nature. Questioning how the line merges, with the body and beyond, with the edges of every living, and non living thing.
Ghosh's practice embraces the texture and purity of line combined with the receptiveness of the artists emotion and mood when she drew the line.
The whole performative experience is highly spontaneous and of the moment for both audience and artist within the space. It is
a reaction to receiving vibrations of unknown sounds interpreted through the artist body gesture. It is an act of drawing lines where body gesture merges with the Drawing of lines and can become the lines itself.

We are delighted to have Dr Birgitta Hosea on our panel. Artist, researcher and curator. She combines experimental drawing, expanded animation, projection technologies and performance art. Her work questions how embodied experience can be represented and, in particular, the lived experience of having a female identity.

Her work is included in the Tate Britain and Centre d’Arte Contemporain archives. She is Reader in Moving Image at the University for the Creative Arts and vsiting Professor at Chengdu University.
