The Spectacle of Looking is Victoria Turnbull’s ongoing study into the work of artists and writers for whom, the subject of their work is the act of looking itself; this includes research, lectures and talks on depictions of looking in painting, photography, film and other artforms, using drawing techniques in perspective, anamorphosis and trompe l’oeil as tropes to explore and render multiple points of view and ‘Gander‘ a cross arts collaboration with creative producer Natasha Freedman exploring the nature of seeing, and using movement and drawing to enhance the way that we look.

In October 2013, Gander led Other Wise with Angie Brew as part of the Thinking through Drawing 2013 Research Symposium in New York exploring the relationship between the drawer, the viewer and the drawing.
