Drawing Becomes Performance Art in “Draw to Perform”

Drawing on a large scale beckons one to make large, extravagant gestures with the body that turn into a sort of dance with one's medium. The second annual symposium "Draw to Perform" takes this idea and turns it into a two-day performance showcase where the performance is the act of drawing itself. Artists from all over the world will gather at NUM3ER in London on May 16 through May 17 to create large-scale works before the public. In addition, the event includes film screenings and artist talks.

KAABOO launched KAABOO ArtworK this past September with an art and music 'mix-perience' at the Del Mar Racetrack and Fairgrounds. The event featured live mural painting, intricate sculpture installations and unique exhibitions by dozens of artists esteemed worldwide, in addition to comedy, fashion, beauty and craft beer events. The ArtworK gallery, curated by San Francisco-based artist and KAABOO Art Director, Amandalynn, featured a variety of pop-up exhibitions with paintings, jewelry, photography, sculptures and installations － many for sale － by more than 80 artists. In reference to the inaugural and future events, Amandalynn said, "music and art are so naturally interwoven, it only makes sense to highlight them both with equal enthusiasm."
