DTP Online - A conversation with Robert Luzar

Sat, 20 July 2024, 19:00 – 21:00 BST, London Time

Draw to Perform is inviting you to join the upcoming event with artist Robert Luzar. In this online meeting Robert Luzar will talk with director Ram Samocha about his engagement with Draw to Perform since its establishment in 2013. Luzar will discuss about his evolving work within Draw To Perform and his recent projects outside the platform; explore his fascination with drawing as an event and trace, discussing its philosophical underpinnings and how it manifests in his practice. Luzar will also encourage audience participation and foster dialogue.

DTP Online is a program by Draw to Perform which includes a studio visit to artists that relate to contemporary drawing, performative drawing, and live art. These online events are giving the audience an opportunity to get a closer look at the work of key artists in the genre. They also give the audience a chance to observe the artist's creative process and their choice of materials and techniques as the work progresses.

At the beginning of each meeting, the visiting artist gives a live performance or presentation in their own private workplace. The focus lies not only on performance art, but also on those who use drawing as their main medium of work.

This online program gives us a chance to connect more and collectively brainstorm ideas on drawing, art and performing, as the audience is invited to ask the artists direct questions.

A link and password for the Zoom meeting will be sent by email, close to the date of the scheduled meeting.

By ordering tickets for the Draw to Perform online event you agree to be recorded live and give permission for the use of this zoom meeting in future archives and online promotions.

Robert Luzar is an artist, writer, and educator. He was born in Slovenia, and lived in Canada before moving to England. He holds a PhD from Central Saint Martins. His works engage with notions of ‘event’ and ‘trace’ through forms of change, thought, point, and body in ‘precarious’ forms of existence; using drawing experimentally with live-art performance, video, Internet, and space. He exhibits globally in live-art events, museums and galleries, such as Palazzo Loredan Venice (IT), Torrance Art Museum (USA), Talbot Rice Gallery (UK), DRAWinternational (FR), Katzman Contemporary (CA), Künstlerhaus Dortmund (DE), and CUMT Institute (China). His writings on art, culture and philosophy are published in books and journals such as Nancy and Visual Culture (Edinburgh University Press 2016), Theatre and Performance Design (Routledge 2017), and Drawing: Research, Theory, Practice (Intellect 2019).
