The division between these different themes is uncertain: together they form a network where knowledge of one influences the experience of reading another. <\/p>\n<p>A drawing becomes a text and a text becomes a drawing, asking you to encounter the works in two ways at once. The drawings are usually intensely worked in pencil, attempting to fix the source in time and place. Yet these works often appear unfinished and incomplete, informed by notions of the fragment and the detail in the context of art history and drawing attention to art practice as a space for thinking and imagination.<\/p>\n<p><strong>1.00PM \u2013 2.00PM<br \/>\nWEDESDAY 16 MARCH 2016<br \/>\nCANTOR 9137<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>See <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.shu.ac.uk\/c3riimpact\/seminars-201516\/\">here<\/a> for details of other seminars in the series.<\/p>\n<p>All SHU staff and students are welcome to attend the C3RI Lunchtime Research Seminars.
