Partially Incorrect Answers

  “Silence, remains inescapably, a form of speech” Susan Sontag

The Ignorant Art School collective’s ‘Practising Duets’ is a series that invites two leading practitioners who have not yet met to share their reflections on knowledge verbally. However, when languages are not shared, and words are not the route of transmission, how might we use silence to speak? How might we use gesture to push our inner expression outwards, communicate in the spaces between words, build subtleties of interaction and intersection together? 

For The Ignorant Art School’s 0-eA residency project, Paul Stewart and Sarah Perks (Forms of Circulation) have created the project Partially Incorrect Answers ( △ ) that takes the form of text, word sets, diagrams, scores, and structures as the basis of a film, performance and workshop. 

This project has two events in Japan, the first uses the Partially Incorrect Answers ( △ ) word sets and films to activate a dialogue with Dawn Bothwell’s improvised live performance at Tokyo’s live gig venue ftarri on Mon 28 April. The second is a participatory workshop on Sun 28 April at our residency house in Yokosuka. This event is an invitation to join us at our residency house in Yokosuka to respond to our word sets, diagrams and short films with movement, meditation and gesture, to ask how might we use silence to speak? Together, in silence, we become a collaborative composition to engage in non-verbal forms of knowledge exchange.
