Based in ‘cross-disciplinary drawing’ – where drawing is the fundamental method that extends towards performance, interactive situations, installation, sound and film – Wlodarczak draws her environment as she sees it. Working in real-time, she traces and re-traces the visible, to record present continuous time to archive space–time, translating her living energy into the drawn line.
Daily, for the first week of the exhibition, Wlodarczak will be enclosed in a specially designed cube, drawing without any exposure to the outside world. She will draw what she can see in the space around her, within the sensory limitation box. Audiences can view the drawing in progress via the live webcam streaming onto a screen within the gallery. This unique creative situation is in contrast to the artist’s socially focused practice.
