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.
