"Do not ever go into Walmart, Home Depot, Eaton's, The Bay, Rona, Winner's and Home Sense to buy a work of art...Guess what? We have ways of finding out..."

Answers to Questions features ten videos by the British collaborators John Wood and Paul Harrison. With a deadpan delivery worthy of Buster Keaton, Wood and Harrison create intimate, formally structured mise-en-scènes in which they use their own bodies in restrained interactions with such commonplace items as tennis balls, chairs, and strings. The artists delight in orchestrating the comic consequences of inertia, gravity, and the law of falling bodies in these low-tech physics experiments. Their blend of elegant conceptualism and slapstick conveys a sense of inspired pranksterism.
