The creative element of the investigation attempts to model Hepworth’s use of gesture and in doing so translate the function of gesture from its use in a visual arts practice to a multimedia textual practice. Building on a multi-disciplinary understanding of gesture and Hepworth’s own ideas about “gesture in landscape”, the project considers the gestures of the artist, gestures represented in the artwork, and gestures choreographed by the artwork (in the reader/audience/participant). The collaboration features new interactive works and is intended to function as a provocation raising questions about the interaction between tension and gesture in both sculptural and digital textual practices, rather than an authoritative, exhaustive or conclusive typology of the use of gesture in Hepworth’s corpus. Cet article est le fruit d’une pratique collaborative dont le but est de mettre en lumière la façon dont Barbara Hepworth rend compte de gestes dans ses sculptures. Le projet regroupe cet article universitaire et un certain nombre de poèmes multimédia numériques qui en sont partie intégrante. Les poèmes ont été créés par les auteurs en réponse aux sculptures de Barbara Hepworth au Barbara Hepworth Museum (St Ives) et Hepworth Wakefield (Yorkshire). L’aspect créateur de l’entreprise a consisté dans une tentative de transfert du geste des arts plastiques à la pratique textuelle multimédia. Nous fondant sur une compréhension globale du geste et les idées formulées par Hepworth elle-même – sa notion de « geste dans le paysage » - nous prenons en compte les gestes de l’artiste, les gestes représentés dans les sculptures, et les gestes induits par l’œuvre (avec la question du spectateur et du lecteur participant). Le texte est destiné à provoquer, par l’emploi d’oeuvres interactives, la réflexion sur les liens entre tension et geste en sculpture et dans les textes numériques, plutôt qu’à cataloguer les gestes chez Hepworth dans le but d’en faire une typologie exhaustive. |

This is a collaborative practice-based investigation which aims to outline some of the key lessons and implications from a number of the uses of gesture in the sculpture of Barbara Hepworth. This mini-research project consists of this formal academic paper and a selection of digital multimedia poetry which functions as a creative-critical intervention and a component part of this paper. The digital multimedia poetry was created in collaboration by the authors in response to Hepworth’s original sculpture at the Barbara Hepworth Museum (St Ives) and the Hepworth Wakefield (Yorkshire). The creative element of the investigation attempts to model Hepworth’s use of gesture and in doing so translate the function of gesture from its use in a visual arts practice to a multimedia textual practice. Building on a multi-disciplinary understanding of gesture and Hepworth’s own ideas about “gesture in landscape”, the project considers the gestures of the artist, gestures represented in the artwork, and gestures choreographed by the artwork (in the reader/audience/participant). The collaboration features new interactive works and is intended to function as a provocation raising questions about the interaction between tension and gesture in both sculptural and digital textual practices, rather than an authoritative, exhaustive or conclusive typology of the use of gesture in Hepworth’s corpus. |
