Partially Incorrect Answers ( △ )
Workshop: Active Silence
Sun 28 April 2024, 2pm – 4pm
YOKOSUKA / 0-eA
RSVP via mail@0-ea.art
Paul Stewart and Sarah Perks invite you to take part in a workshop as part of our Partially Incorrect Answers ( △ ) project for the 0-eA residency. 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.
Partially Incorrect Answers ( △ ) is a project by Paul Stewart and Sarah Perks (Forms of Circulation) as part of The Ignorant Art Schools Collective in collaboration with Dawn Bothwell and Chris Shen.
Supported by MIMA Research Unit, School of Arts and Creative Industries at Teesside University (UK), and The Ignorant Art Schools Collective is a research group of the British Art Network (BAN). British Art Network is a Subject Specialist Network supported by Tate and the Paul Mellon Centre for Studies in British Art, with additional public funding provided by the National Lottery through Arts Council England.
Forms of Circulation (16mm series)
The first film in our 16mm series shows test tubes and bottles, cabinets and pressure gauges, microscopes, freezers and 3D printers, pipettes and pipes are all captured hard at work at the biosciences and healthcare research facility: National Horizons Centre (NHC). In a unique collaboration between two of Teesside University’s flagship institutions, filmmakers from Middlesbrough Institute of Modern Art (MIMA) workshop stories with NHC staff to create a film that explores the wider impacts of the machine processes on human and non-human recipients, for example work on deadly mouth rot in seals, and fruit flies’ role in modelling for Parkinson’s disease cures.
Forms of Circulation #1 will next screen at Braziers International Film Festival on Sun 1 September 2024.
With thanks to amazing DoP Christo Wallers.

Salty Measures Workshops at IMT Gallery
A series of workshops curated by Paul Stewart and Sarah Perks that plunge into the pleasures and depths of art-making. Our inaugural season showcases the talents of Hamja Ahsan, Sophie Chapman, and Sarah Perks. Each workshop in this series offers a unique approach to engaging with art, whether through embodied experiences, delightful encounters, or shared narratives.
These experiences will involve collaborative art-making, and each participant will depart with a keepsake from their journey, whether it's a self-recorded EP, a concept for a fried chicken franchise, or a profound meditation that unveils a non-human connection.

The Ignorant Art Schools Collective
Practising Duets is a series of events organised by The Ignorant Art Schools Collective, a research group of the British Art Network (BAN). The collective’s researchers are Sophia Yadong Hao (Cooper Gallery, University of Dundee), Dr Edgar Schmitz (Goldsmiths, University of London), Dr Paul Stewart and Prof Sarah Perks (both Teesside University). The Ignorant Art Schools Collective explores intersections of alternative art pedagogy and new forms of collaborative curatorial agency. The latter often developed inside of Global Majority countries then evident in recent European large scale art events such as ruangrupa’s curation of Documenta 15 in 2022.
