Neil Chapman & Steven Claydon

Neil Chapman and Steve Claydon have been producing work in collaboration over a period of three years. Their collaborative practice explores the generative potential of the flaw - testing ways in which imperfection contributes towards productivity in art and writing. Their concerns correspond to findings in evolutionary theory: research has revealed that new attributes developed by a particular species to help it establish itself alongside competitors result from aberrations in genetic reproduction.

Chapman and Claydon interrogate how -in a similar way- errors in textual information, the badly inscribed mark, and the misperception can be viewed as phenomena which initiate a kind of unhindered production.
