In this solo exhibition, Robert Luzar presents three new works around mark-making and notions of persistence of ‘in-action’. Through video, print, and wall-based rubbings, Luzar complicates each technical approach: extracting photographic stills and removing the moving-image; creating an unreproducible print-template; and partially erasing a wall design. Each approach extends what he terms ‘ways of thinking through an act of drawing’. This involves critically examining a moving body, which is in-the-midst-of-action while appearing ‘inactive.’

Being in the act can mean falling, leaping, or pointing, each are ways of engaging a process of investigation. However, is a process of investigation possible when there is no apparent subject to explore? In these works the body movement and its variety of positions suggests a possible subject, which does not immediately appear.

Luzar continues to use drawing as an attitude and approach, stressing its self-evolving state as a practice that expands its conditions and applications. What is distinct from his emphasis on the performance-based aspect is the colloquial sense of preparatory sketches, and orientations of marking solely for the page. Since 2009, Luzar has extended some of these themes and approaches into a specific PhD research project, lead through his artistic practice, relating drawing and philosophy.
