In/scissions 2008 -- 15th-27th September

In/scissions, aurally, incision, a cut in the skin or the flesh, moment of acute perception that draws focus to internal workings, where/when there is no referent, no ‘other’ time or place but here. In-scission, the non-word read graphically, in-to separation, division, or splitting, as in fission, what makes each one one, always singular and particular, critically this and not another.

The Centre for Dangerology

Broderick Chow and Thom Glen
Studio 1
On going events from Tuesday 16th September
Gallery open 12 PM for viewing. A different social encounter, game or workshop takes place at 4 PM each weekday – see dangerology.wordpress.com for full details.
Eschewing spectatorship for participation, and the “finished” work of art for ongoing, collaborative production, the games, workshops, encounters, and cabaret performances in The Centre challenge the visitor to take risks, speak up, discuss, and invite danger in. There will be a bar, a library, and spaces to make things, spaces to relax. Come learn a language from a stranger, learn to make onigiri and maki, confess secrets anonymously, create a personal map of your London, and much more.

What is Dangerology?
Dangerology is “social Parkour” (Parkour, n. Fr. par-KOOR, or ‘l’art du déplacement’ [eng. “the art of displacement”]: an activity with the aim of moving from one point to another as efficiently and quickly as possible, principally using the abilities of the human body).How might we navigate new lines, new relationships, new encounters – using social obstacles and architecture to our advantage? Dangerology is not a school of thought. It’s not a process of recognition. It’s not a dogma. It’s a series of encounters. Do we search for truth in our art? Not exactly.
