  • The Language of Narrative Drawing: a Close Reading of Contemporary Graphic Novels
    The Language of Narrative Drawing: a close reading of contemporary graphic novels Abstract: The study offers an alternative analytical framework for thinking about the contemporary graphic novel as a dynamic area of visual art practice. Graphic narratives are placed within the broad, open-ended territory of investigative drawing, rather than restricted to a special category of literature, as is more usually the case. The analysis considers how narrative ideas and energies are carried across specific examples of work graphically. Using analogies taken from recent academic debate around translation, aspects of Performance Studies, and, finally, common categories borrowed from linguistic grammar, the discussion identifies subtle varieties of creative processing within a range of drawn stories. The study is practice-based in that the questions that it investigates were first provoked by the activity of drawing. It sustains a dominant interest in practice throughout, pursuing aspects of graphic processing as its primary focus. Chapter 1 applies recent ideas from Translation Studies to graphic narrative, arguing for a more expansive understanding of how process brings about creative evolutions and refines directing ideas. Chapter 2 considers the body as an area of core content for narrative drawing. A consideration of elements of Performance Studies stimulates a reconfiguration of the role of the figure in graphic stories, and selected artists are revisited for the physical qualities of their narrative strategies. Chapter 3 develops the grammatical concept of tense to provide a central analogy for analysing graphic language. The chapter adapts the idea of the graphic „confection‟ to the territory of drawing to offer a fresh system of analysis and a potential new tool for teaching.

  • Works from the Arup Collection Works from the Arup Collection
    Works from the Arup Collection Works from the Arup Collection Cover Kisa Kawakami, Arc IV, 1986 Introduction The Arup Collection has its origins in the earliest years of the firm. This exhibition shows a selection of works from the Collection in different media as well as furniture from the first offices. Ove Arup had a keen interest in the arts. In 1948, two years after the firm was registered, he became a member of the Institute of Contemporary Arts in London and retained an enthusiasm for collecting throughout his life which was shared by the founding partners. There was no obvious strategy when building the Arup Collection, although nearly all the artists of different nationalities were UK-based and prints and drawings were favoured – perhaps not surprising given that good draughtsmanship was integral to the world of the engineer at that time. Many of the works are by artists who pushed the boundaries of their medium in the post-war period like R B Kitaj, who sought Arup’s assistance with the construction of his home and studio, and John Piper whom Arup worked with on Coventry Cathedral. Just as Ove Arup supported Fig 1 Ronald Jenkins’ office, 8 Fitzroy Street, London, 1952 (table designed by Alison and Peter Smithson, wall cabinet ‘rebel architects’ of the modernist movement (he was a member of the by Victor Pasmore and ceiling by Eduardo Paolozzi) MARS Group), this interest was also evident in the art that was collected. Photographer John R Pantlin The Collection was largely based on the relationships the partners developed with artists and architects.

  • Kelly Long Bio2008
    MARY KELLY Mary Kelly is known for her project-based work, addressing questions of sexuality, identity and historical memory in the form of large-scale narrative installations. She studied painting in Florence, Italy, in the sixties, and then taught art in Beirut, Lebanon during a time of intense cultural activity known as the “golden age”. In 1968, at the peak of the student movements in Europe, she moved to London, England to continue postgraduate study at St. Martin's School of Art. There, she began her long-term critique of conceptualism, informed by the feminist theory of the early women's movement in which she was actively involved throughout the 1970s. She was also a member of the Berwick Street Film Collective and a founder of the Artists' Union. During this time, she collaborated on the film, Nightcleaners, 1970-75, and the installation, Women & Work: a document on the division of labor in industry, 1975, as well as producing her iconic work on the mother/child relationship, Post-Partum Document, 1973-79. Documentation I, the infamous “nappies”, caused a scandal in the media when it was first exhibited at the Institute of Contemporary Art in London in 1976. In 1989 she joined the faculty of the Independent Study Program at the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York. Her four part work interrogating women's relation to the body, money, history and power, Interim, 1984-89, was shown in its entirety at the New Museum of Contemporary Art in 1990 and the symposium that was organized in conjunction with it, On the Subject of History, marked a highpoint in the feminism and postmodernism debate instigated by the critic, and early supporter of Kelly's work, Craig Owens.
