Kevin Townsend featured in a New Book: Performance Drawing, New Practices since 1945

Studios Inc is excited to share news of the release of, Performance Drawing, New Practices since 1945, a book that features the work and practice of current resident artist, Kevin Townsend, in its first chapter, Line in Time.  This robustly researched book explores a wide range of drawing practices that touch on performance.

Excerpt from the book:

Between performance and drawing, US artist Kevin Townsend describes his obsessive and repetitive time-based practice as being in time:

The Performative Drawings connect to a public perceptual field where the drawing, audience, and maker occupy the same present. In these pieces, I become a part of the work - my presence, labor, time, mark-making tactile-kinesthetic body movement and the topological images they yield all exist simultaneously. At the outset of this work, each mark embodies only the moments of its making and exists as a record of both attention and intention.

The book is now available for Pre orders In the US. Click here
