Introduction by Brett Littman and Joanna Kleinberg Romanow

Susan Hefuna and Luca Veggetti: NOTATIONOTATIONS marks a first-time collaboration between renowned multimedia artist Susan Hefuna (b. Germany, 1962) and contemporary choreographer Luca Veggetti (b. Italy, 1963). The piece posits that if a line is the trace of a point in motion, then the human body moving through space is a drawing.

Published in conjunction with NOTATIONOTATIONS, Drawing Papers 106 features pages from Hefuna and Veggeti’s individual process sketchbooks, stills from Hefuna’s film, New York City Crossroads, and images of Hefuna’s drawings. The volume also includes essays that explore the important intersections between performance, time-based practices and drawing in Hefuna and Veggetti’s collaboration.
