After successful completion of the course, students are able to...
use the hand drawing tool for concept development and visual communication within the design process. They refine their technique of sketching and can communicate their ideas through spatial drawings.
Four black ring binders are lying on four pedestals in the exhibition space. Mel Bochner's "Working Drawings and Other Visible Things on Paper Not Necessarily Meant To Be Viewed as Art" from 1966 is one of the first conceptual art exhibitions. The black folders contain copied notes and working drawings by Sol LeWitt, Dan Flavin, John Cage and Donald Judd, among others. Not only the presented contents are remarkable, but how these are presented: Bochner's exhibition brings the themes of notation and standardised reproduction into a relationship with each other.
Against this background, as well as that of this year's module theme, Land Art, Analytical Drawing deals with connecting notation and reproduction. Notations are forms of graphic expression that trace or imagine processes - and thus function as time-based representations. Reproduction is a fundamental theme of graphic work, in relation to which different positions can be taken - not only since the advent of digitality. In this sense, this year’s exercise is located in a post-digital context where analogue and digital are inseparably intertwined.
In the course of the semester we will produce analogue and digital notations of dynamic processes that can be observed in solid, liquid or gaseous materiality and deal with post-digital forms of reproducing these notations. After an initially more guided mode of working, students choose their own topic within this spectrum.
The aim of the course is the creative implementation of fictitious and real objectives. Using hybrid drawing tools, the presentation of different information, from a concrete description of a location to emotional states and abstract terms, is to be tested and refined.
The course is held in connection with the module Form and Design. The introduction takes place on Wednesday, 3rd March 2021, 10:00 am in the „Modelliersaal“ (main building Karlsplatz, Stiege 1, 4th floor).
