Abstract

The Wrist-Easel is a speculative apparatus for drawing, sketching and painting on the go that I am developing. It seeks to situate observational drawing and en plein air painting practices within the ever-quickening flow of life and the culture of hyper-efficiency in which we find ourselves. Rather than seeking to formulate an antithesis, it situates the figure of the painter in this flow as witness to it (as opposed to watching behind the still point of a stationary easel). It is in this meeting with the pace and flow that we find space to confront this state.

Author Biography

  • Cemre Eraslan

    Cemre Eraslan is an artist and researcher based in The Hague. She investigates the kinds of novelties present in everyday recursion through the lens of speculative game and apparatus making — by setting up performances and installations that play with iterative prototyping, pattern recognition and improvisation as formative methods. Figures like the ‘Melonʼ become oracular third-places where the happenstance of the organic becomes a revelatory conduit.
