6.30pm: Artistic performance - It's high time we "demented" the world
Drawing on a large format frees up your gestures. It allows you to "dement", to let go. The essence can be deposited in a few strokes. The difference between drawing on a small and large format is the breadth of the gesture: it's the whole body that gives the movement.
With practice, blocks fall away. And confidence grows in our potential to achieve. Mélinda Rost - UNIvers de la Peinture
Namoo will accompany this performance. Namoo is a mystical musical immersion, a journey where the power of Soul meets modern beats, supported by subdued atmospheres... Between light and shadow... Namoo is the magic of improvisation...
