Posted on August 1, 2013
Tannaz Oroumchi bridges art and architecture in her 5 day residency.
You may have already read our interview with artist of the month Tannaz Oroumchi (read it here), but there is a lot to learn from her drawing process and spontaneity in the studio.
Architect and CDG artist Tannaz Oroumchi takes over the gallery window in a 5 day residency 1st -6th August (closed Sunday) to coincide with the summer exhibition The Art of Curiosity . Drawing on film stretched over the sash window, Oroumchi will be re-imagining London “to expose ourselves to ourselves” as new spaces and opportunities emerge from the inky lines, exposing us to new visions.The overlapping lines of purple ink will be visible from the street and will examine what else the city could be, or do- the perfect lunchtime film.
Oroumchi will be be using conventional drawing techniques to expose the existing streets of London by breaking the given rules and geometry of the city. The streets are hectified to trigger and break "visual idealisms, allowing the possibility for others to be revealed". These drawn shifts and warps allow for a reinvented London, ready for re-engagement. Architecture and society are broken down pushing forward new formations, shedding light on the close relationship and overlapping themes prevalent in architecture and art practice, with a focus on the impact on community.
You can see Tannaz Oroumchi live drawing Thursday 1st August- 6th August 12:30-3:30, closed Sunday. Read more about Tannaz Oroumchi and her art work here .
