dumb type's work is as formally complex as it is socially complex.
The most visible and well-known art works fall somewhere within the
boundaries of performance, often accompanied by museum
installations. In many ways this work fulfills the original intent
of the collective, to "develop an art/performance form to fill the
gap between static visual art and performance dependent on
dialogue. "The 'dumb' in dumb type is not intended to indicate a
level of intelligence, but rather to describe the desire to create
without words. "When we first came together," explained Furuhashi
in High Performance (summer 1990) "we just had too many things we
wanted to say. We decided not to shout. We try to keep it simple."
In essence, dumb type's work spans a much greater range than
performance. They are generally perceived as a performance group
because touring outside Kyoto forces them to modify works to fit
into more conventional settings and more traditional kinds of venue
scheduling. When they work in Kyoto, they are known for spending
weeks or, given the opportunity, months just preparing a space for
one of their events, often completely restructuring an interior to
meet their demands.
