Il 19 febbraio, alle 15.30, Bjorn Laursen, artista e studioso danese, presenterà il volumeThe Substance of Drawing. A Guide to Visual Power (Artdigiland, 2017) all’Art Studio Fiorentini presso la John Cabot University di Roma, Largo Fiorentini 1. La presentazione, rivolta agli studenti della John Cabot e al pubblico, è in inglese. Scrive del libro Fabrizio Crisafulli: «This book is not a manual as it is normally meant. It is not just a technical guide to learning how to draw. It lets you understand the motivations and impulses that are at the origin of drawing and the processes that are activated when you draw. And drawing is intended not so much as a simple tool, more or less effective, to imitate reality, but as a means of knowledge and memory with respect to reality. What Bjørn Laursen lets us understand is how listening and the availability to be captured by what we have around are essential qualities for an artist, and how the act of drawing is not a passive recording of objects, but a discovering and imagining, discovering the present and its history, and imaging the future of the environment we live in».
