allsopp&weir; were invited by curators Mary Cork and Cadine Navarro (CNMC) to take part in the first stage of the Disruption project by working within specific set parameters. They were asked to work in a Cell studio space, above Ridley Road Market in Dalston, London, over the duration of two weeks, and document the process of working there to be exhibited at the end of the residency period.
Responding to this, the artists turned the studio into a self-teaching English language centre for one person, leaving learning materials including tapes, books, videos and audio CDs. They invited a Korean resident of London who could speak very little English, gave him the keys, and instructed him to go to the space every day to teach himself the language.
This event was documented through an interview about the Disruption project, at the end of the residency, between the curators and the language student. His responses in English are constrained by phrases learnt during the two weeks. The curators, unaware of how the space has been used, are constantly frustrated and forced into loops, slowing, pauses, rephrasing and shifting of their planned language used to frame the project. The interview was filmed and screened along with other work at a resulting exhibition - Rupture (Series 1), Long Street Workshops, London, 2007
