N2 - The interpretative and interactive epistemology of Art is complex and therefore how knowledge is gained through learning and teaching Art can be somewhat mystifying. In order to address this, I have found naming and exploring ‘not knowing’ can be reassuring and enlightening for students. This has been approached by leading seminars and lectures examining texts from On Not Knowing: How Artists Think (eds. Fisher and Fortnum, 2013) and engaging with not knowing through research-led workshops that explore improvisation and material experimentation. These workshops look at how artists use junk materials in times of great precarity.
