This exhibition explores the rhythms and possibilities presented by methods that oscillate between narratives of the ‘not-knowing’ (continual artistic/human becoming) and ‘unthought’ (the cognitive assemblages beyond human consciousness).
Threaded through the run of this exhibition will be co-art/design sprints, provocations and practicals (workshops), please see details below.
Artists, contributors and researchers include established internationally recognised artists and researchers including: Johnny Golding, Tom Simmons, John Wild, Manu Luksch, Mukul Patel, Matt Lewis, Jonathan Boyd, Jeremy Keenan, Maggie Roberts, Linn Phyllis Seeger, Sonia Bernac, Dario Srbic and Shira Wachsmann.
