“El cerebro es un órgano social que aprende haciendo cosas con otras personas”

(José Ramón Gamo)

Following Drawing Class I and Drawing Class II, Debora Ando invites you to the continuation of this series of independent events.

Drawing is the place where you deconstruct the world you see to form your own. It is a way of expressing one’s interaction with reality. It is a way to interpret the most current state of one's understanding of something.

The focus of Drawing Class III isn’t any technical method to obtain a finished drawing. It is an exploration of perceiving, thinking, analysing and discussing as a group based on ideas of "art thinking" by Luis Camnitzer. This platform will be presented to participants in the form of a text that is going to be read by Paul Stuart. There is no set aim or direction for this session to take.

The result will be the product of a challenge promoted by engagement and response, having the experience as an outcome in itself. Instead of trying to prove our mastery, we will be inquisitive students.

Places are limited. To participate in this event you should sign up in advance (please send your email and mobile number to andoprojects@gmail.com).
