SIGHT (UN)SPECIFIC: Performance as research predicated upon deploying acts of visual negation

Abstract

This paper promotes debate into varying aspects of practice that was produced as part of 'You Don’t Need Eyes To See, You Need Vision', a recent event which presented new work by artists Lee Campbell, Adrian Lee and Carali McCall. Using performance practice-as-research, the artists interrogated the following question: How can acts exploring visual negation be used to generate public pedagogy and what may it bring to the experience of removal of sight?
