The Drawing Field : kreider + o'leary
The Centre for Drawing is delighted to announce that the third session of The Drawing Field will be led by kreider + o’leary.
kreider + o’leary will perform a live one hour duration drawing that will act as a drawn composite of differing strands of their collaborative practice. Mixing spaces, video, drawings, texts and voices, they will contextualize their work by generating a taxonomy of drawn constructs used to delineate the ideas, spaces and events of their practice. They will discuss current work and its relationship to the film-image, and ask the audience to define a rule base with which to construct a time-based collaborative drawing.
kreider + o’leary operate at the edges of disciplinary boundaries through an integrated visual-spatial-poetic practice. Engaging with sites of architectural and socio-cultural significance, they expose and re-contextualise the site in question through performance, installation and time-based media. kreider + o’leary both live and work in London, where they have been collaborating since 2003.They have exhibited work in the UK as well as internationally in Japan (ArtX Toyama, 2006), Ireland (European Capital of Culture, 2005) and Croatia (Art Radionica Lazareti, 2005).
