Adelaide Studio: Artist Talk/D
Times: 6pm-9pm
Every May weekend, daytime Adelaide Studio invites you to ‘VISION’ – exhibition showcasing sculptures and performances by Paulina Anzorge & evening SERIES OF TALKS by creatives whose voices impact our world views.
Let us introduce: Ram Samocha
Ram Samocha is an artist, curator and the founder of Draw to Perform, a Brighton based company for performative drawing. Samocha has studied and lived in Israel, Canada and the UK. Moving frequently between counties and cities made finding and making connections with like-minded artists difficult. Ram’s solution was to set up the Draw to Perform company, a platform for artists to gather, collaborate, share and exchange ideas around performative drawing.
Samocha’s work focuses on the issues of personal and global transformation and combines drawing with video, sound, installation, and live performance. Samocha often mixes modern and traditional drawing techniques while searching for new ways to combine between two and three dimensions. Recognized nationally and internationally, Samocha’s work is part of various museums and private collections.
In this upcoming talk, Ram Samocha will delve into the transformative journey of Draw to Perform over the past decade, charting its evolution from a visionary concept to a dynamic global movement at the forefront of performative drawing. He will share insights into the organization’s pioneering initiatives, including international symposiums and festivals, which have not only challenged artistic norms but also fostered a vibrant community of practitioners worldwide.
Drawing from his own experiences as an artist and educator, Samocha will explore the significance of performative drawing as a medium for pushing boundaries and redefining artistic expression. Attendees can expect to gain a deeper understanding of the techniques and philosophies underpinning this innovative art form, as well as insights into the creative process and collaborative spirit that drive Draw to Perform’s success.
