Teach Yourself Terror
Allsopp & Weir




"A selection of learning language cassettes have been cut up and restructured in order to speak the US Government's list of 'Designated Foreign Terrorists Organizations' in a broken, mispronounced, and repetitive way. (...) Teach yourself to be terrified and teach yourself to terrorize".

Allsopp & Weir are Paul Allsopp and Andy Weir. They have been working collaboratively since graduating from the MA in 'Contemporary Art and Theory' at Goldsmiths College in 2003. They have since exhibited widely in the UK and internationally, including recently London in Six Easy Steps at the ICA, London. Their work, in video, installation and performance, explores how far it is possible to produce an effective "politics of potentiality" through incapacity and the barest of means. Paul Allsopp is currently pursuing postgraduate research at the London Consortium. Andy Weir is currently AA2A artist in residence at London Metropolitan University.
