Without meaningful recourse to trace: Grennan & Sperandio’s digital drawing in the 1990s.  

How does the craft of drawing impact the development of drawing technology? Simon’s inaugural lecture will focus upon artists Grennan & Sperandio’s use of emerging digital edge recognition and vectorisation techniques in the 1990s, locating these innovations relative to older techniques such as tracing and rotoscoping and even older ideas about drawing, visualising and the body.

Contemporary art duo The Singh Twins, will be speaking at the University of Chester’s Exton Campus (Parkgate Road) on the subject of: 

‘Artistic Responses to Empire and Colonialism and its Legacies’ 

The Singh Twins (Amrit and Rabindra Kaur) have exhibited their work across the globe from Britain and Continental Europe through to India and North America. Their most recent exhibition, ‘Slaves of Fashion’, questions both the historic and ongoing trade in Indian textiles. 

In this talk, the Twins will discuss crucial themes that their work addresses from colonialism, and cultural ownership through to the politics and ethics of trade. Today’s international artists actually began their careers as students at the University of Chester, so this talk will be something of a homecoming for the Twins. 

This lecture will be held in the Cinema Room in the School of Education Building, on the Exton Park Campus. Parking is available on the campus and is free of charge.  

Addition information about the event can be found the website.
