Blubilds – drawing diagrammatic stains

This project adopts the concept of a dance diagram such as Andy Warhol’s Fox Trot (1962) introduced by Rosalind Krauss in her writing on relationship material forces diagrammatic structure to create model notation with actions and objects derived from Edgelands. Coined Marion Shoard, Edgelands are post-industrial cityscapes, typology abandon, dereliction decay. Shoard notes these sites characterized creative cultural practices photography graffiti; urban explorers, parkour. My Blubilds aimed challenge parkour graffiti provoke new engagement those sites. To this end, I apply Krauss’s resistant gravity adapted Formless: A User’s Guide (). Gravity is force undoing remake spaces – draw my body equipment facilitate within space. contrasts Graffiti breaks existing activities tag, mark leave trace live embodied diagram, based movement patterns found Edgeland sites, since ‘action’ line body. Tim Ingold’s approach drawing informs perspective that lines (in) place engage lived narratives places. Ingold suggests make created entangled movement; furthermore, ‘draw out’ Douglas phrase ‘draws-out’ spaces. Blue emblematic nod ‘rude noise, blueprint acts Graffiti’, it becomes dynamic stain.
