Laura Davidson's research concerns investigate the possibilities of the performance document. She produces work as a script or documentation of an event, primarily through mark making. Keen to challenge traditional definitions of the drawing, Davidson views her own drawing practice as research and documentation. Future ambitions are to expand her research into meanings of the script and the event in digital culture.
As a member of TBC Artists’ Collective she recently completed a commission for Slice, a cross-continental project between artists in London, UK and Lahore, Pakistan. Davidson also contributed to TBC’s long term research project A Message To... in which the collective created and installed new works in Houston, Texas and Oxford, UK.
Davidson last summer produced writing for Visible Tracks, an Arts Admin project documenting the exhibition Wake Archipelago at Dilston Grove, London. Further writing on performance was published in December in COPY // unfold, an edition conceived by Critical Writing Collective and designed by Dust.
She also edited and designed the Altered States issue of 12-Pages Online Project Space.
Current projects include editing Issue 9 of 12-Pages: Terror to be published Spring 2012.
