about the way we work

below is a brief overview of our approach to artistic practice. if you wish to find out more you might click on 'thinking' in the navigation bar above
  • in our practice we give equal emphasis to thinking and making, theory and practice.
  • we make objects, dialogic objects, prepositional objects, pedagogical objects, performative objects.
  • research is fundamental to the work we do - we like 'to know' and 'not to know' in equal measure.
  • we like the idea of enquiry-based, co-constructed, participatory and collaborative learning practices, but often position ourselves between and amongst these terms.
  • in our practice we use empirical and philosophical questions to help refine the decisions we make.
  • we explore our questions through purposeful play.
  • we play with the 'everyday-ness' of things.
  • the quality and technical skills are very important, but only if they are relevant and used intelligently.
  • process is just as important as product - we like to 'map' and document our research and outcomes.
  • we embrace the haptical as an important aspect of creating and experiencing art.
  • art theory and art history inform our practice, so that we critically underpin our making choices.
  • we believe in balancing form and content so they can co-exist and balance each other.
  • learning, pedagogy and enabling change are integral factors of our practice.
  • we believe in 'learning through experience' as a way of complementing traditions of learning 'about' something.
  • dialogue around, and through, artworks is integral to the development of our practice as we question interpretation and its tools.
  • collaboration is often at the core of the work we do and we resist identifying one's specific contribution
  • we utilse words like 'encounter', 'exchange', 'performative', 'eruption', 'disrupt', 'unruly'.
