Embodiment/DisembodimentMasterclass with Chelsea Lehmann | 23 - 25 January 2015

Introductory talk | Friday 23 January 5.00pm - 7.00pm Studio | Saturday 24 January 9.30am - 4.30pmStudio | Sunday 25 January 9.30am - 4.30pm

This masterclass explores ideas surrounding embodiment/disembodiment in terms of how the body is (re)presented and perceived, especially in relation to painting. ‘Embodiment’ can be interpreted as ‘inhabiting one’s body’ in that our awareness of space, time and movement is influenced by the physical dimensions and capacities of our bodies. Conversely, ‘disembodiment’ may refer to being ‘separated from, or existing without the body’ signifying the metaphysical dimension of the body (e.g. mind/spirit) or an idealised, virtual or immaterial ‘body’.

Participants will create a series of ‘portraits’ (studies or more realised artworks), which explore embodiment and/or disembodiment in response to observational life painting from models.

This course begins with a lecture that introduces the conceptual context for the development of ideas through drawing and painting.

Please note this masterclass assumes a moderate level of experience and independent practice. Students must make their own choices about what materials to use, including supports, media and the scale and number of works they intend to undertake (see reverse for list of suggested materials).
