* collaborative: individual designs that are subsequently brought together into one whole

​

The ZA drawing collective of the Summer Academy 2024 can best be seen this year as a working week for people who enjoy working together in a collaborative way. Respect for each other's work and the will to share insights and solutions are key concepts.

​

The challenge is to share time, space and insights with and learn from each other, where we search for drawing focus together.

 

Own projects are given space during the afternoon, as a meaningful extension of the collaborative work process. We want to help nourish your own artistic practice through the insights and developments we acquire together. Beginning illustrators will receive individual, tailor-made guidance during the afternoon.

 

The message is to dare to deviate from your well-worn path (photographic illustrators let go of strict representation, small workers dare to take on big challenges, lonely illustrators feed on the group, etc.) and thus open yourself up to explore new paths and lines.

 

We investigate the world of signs (line, surface, shape, texture, color) that are created by the use of various drawing materials (chalk, tape, pencil, stamps, marker, light) on flat supports (paper, floor, windows and walls). .

 

And as during previous editions, we also keep a small collaborative sketchbook every day. That will again be the logbook of this artistic week.

 

We also intend not to exhibit a finished product, but would instead like to share the process with other participants of the Summer Academy. Finally, we will show our discoveries during the open lab moment, where we would like to 'test' the drawing experiments and show them to a broad and participatory audience.

 

Above all, bring your enthusiasm and energy!
