Figural Space | Riet Eeckhout

Figural Space | When you engage with the complex world of situational encounters between people, things and places, it sheds light on the nature of relational environments. It is this relational environment I am interested in when considering architecture within the drawing, away from the singularity of an object or the component-directed perception of space, and towards the understanding of space as the relationship between elements. To consider architecture as a relational condition triggers an interest in the performative nature of space. Figured ground | Situational events bear witness to the logics of the formation or de-formation of things. The interest does not lie in quantifying these interactions in a parametrical sense, but in extracting phenomena, factual or speculative, that occupy space and unfold over time. In this instance, the drawing is used to qualify the forming exchange from particular points of view, through an autographic drawing process. Riet Eeckhout is Guest Professor at the
