PIPER & RODNEY ON THEORY, and PIPER & RODNEY ON PRACTICE - three pages of typewritten text to accompany ADVENTURES CLOSE TO HOME: An Exhibition by Piper & Rodney, the Pentonville Gallery, London, 6 August – 5 September 5 1987.

From PIPER & RODNEY ON THEORY: In Britains (sic) art schools, where the mythology of individual self-expression is held at a premium, collaborative activity is discouraged. Apart from throwing a spanner into bureaucratic machinery geared to assess the virtuoso, collaborative activities begin to counter many of the negative effects of an individualism which leaves the art student isolated and vulnerable. Supporting collaborative activity has therefore never been in the interest of the art school hierarchy, as many students expressing an interest in working collaboratively have learned to their cost.”
