Ached Grew Print Jot, as a kind of alternative space of creativity, interpretation, ritual and critique will be a drawing class in the form of an ephemeral, event-based character expressed and observed through music and other performances, film screenings, a lecture and hosting the launch of a publishing project, Household Words, an on-line / off-line publication that focuses on expanding the format of criticism head on with personality, authenticity and style. Ached Grew Print Jot and Household Words will be characterised by discreet shifts and observations in the spaces between people, objects and happenings. This is an on-line publication that focuses on expanding the format of criticism and heralds a space for personality and authenticity, together with literary style. This publishing project will be made available in hardcopy format.
Moving away from the physical act of drawing, ached grew print jot focuses on paying close attention to a particular object or subject and those processes attuned to the act of observation – mediation, musing and study. An ensemble that hopes to encourage a heightened sensibility of looking and an examination of the mind in the structuring of that experience. All so often our thoughts go beyond anything we engage with here and now; they’re off in the future or combined with remnants from the past, ached grew print jot draws attention to that sway, one that hovers between what is physically present and our interpretation of that presence.
With observations by Karl Burke, Sean Carpio, Daniel Fitzpatrick, Russell Hart (ETP), Barbara Knezevic, Vincent Lestienne, Ruth E. Lyons, Niamh O’Malley, Sarah Pierce & Vaari Claffey, Frank Wasser and Lee Welch.
