This collection of original essays, artworks, writings and resources responds to a wider Blind Spot artistic research project (2016-2020) initiated at the Norwegian Theatre Academy. It features contributions from Ric Allsopp, Irving Finkel, Karen Kipphoff, Kiran Kumar, Ageliki Lefkaditou, Nigel Llewellyn, Kevin Mount, Alice Oswald, Theron Schmidt, Sophie Sleigh-Johnson, Henrik Treimo and Britta Wirthm\u00fcller.<\/p>\n<p>The publication forms part of the Performance Research Books series, &#8216;Thinking Through Performance&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>Blind Spot: Staring down the void<\/em> is in two parts contained in a slipcase. Part 1 is a reference pamphlet with an editorial introduction, a catalogue of artworks, an overview of the parent research project and notes on contributors. It also includes a list of the references to Ric Allsopp&#8217;s introductions to the five sections of Part 2. Part 2 is a concertina-bound book of commissioned essays on the theme of the blind spot, with artworks by Karen Kipphoff. The design and layout of Part 2 enable two panoramic spreads to open out across the three recto and two verso sections of the concertina binding. As a standalone, Part 1 can be read as a map to Part 2.<\/p>\n\n<!-- Facebook Like Button v1.9.6 BEGIN [http:\/\/blog.bottomlessinc.com] -->\n<iframe src=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/plugins\/like.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fthecpr.org.uk%2Fproduct%2Fblind-spot-staring-down-the-void%2F&amp;layout=standard&amp;show_faces=false&amp;width=450&amp;action=like&amp;colorscheme=light\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" allowTransparency=\"true\" style=\"border:none; overflow:hidden; width:450px; height: 30px; align: left; margin: 2px 0px 2px 0px\"><\/iframe>\n<!-- Facebook Like Button END -->\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Edited by Ric Allsopp and Karen Kipphoff<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Performance Research Books 2020.
