Gosia Wlodarczak – Room Without A View
Vincent O’Donnell interviews Gosia Wlodarczak about her live art performance exhibition at RMIT Gallery. Artist Gosia Wlodarczak will be enclosed in a specially designed sensory limitation cube in RMIT Gallery, drawing without any exposure to the outside world – literally ‘drawing’ what she can see in the space around her. Audiences can view the drawing in progress via the live web cam streaming onto a screen within the gallery. This unique creative situation is in contrast to the artist’s socially focused practice.
After 17 days, Gosia will stop drawing and emerge from the cube to talk about her experience. Audiences will then be able to enter the space to reflect on the work. The project uses the language of drawing to investigate what Gosia describes as “an ongoing search for the reassurance, for the ‘material proof’ of my existence.”
Gosia always draws her environment as she sees it, in real time – tracing and re-tracing the visible. The intention with A Room Without a View, as with her other projects, is for Gosia to record the present time in a continuous moment, to archive her space-time, all bits of present and her mind’s realization of now. She will try to translate her living energy into the drawn line.
