Brass Art will be giving a presentation in the afternoon of the conference on 26 August 2011.

Technologies of Drawing conference

The conference will take a far-reaching view of the theme Technologies of Drawing, going beyond the opposition of hand-made and digital, and recognizing the variety of tools, techniques, devices and procedures now in circulation. This will include the differing ways in which drawing relates to three-dimensional space. Drawing will be considered from practitioner and art historical perspectives as a means of thinking, designing and making.

The conference is being organised by University of Huddersfield in partnership with sculpture network.
