Language is deeply tied to culture, history, and our identity. It is a tool of communication and a carrier of meaning that takes infinite forms, functions, and uses. But language also carries implicit politics in how we name, represent, and categorize the world around us.
This exhibition brings together six artists working in the Northeast whose practices critically examine our perceptions of language, and, by extension, of power. Working across projection, sound, installation, translation, and code, their distinct creative processes explore alternative systems of communication and ways of knowing. Through these interventions, Mark Hernandez-Motaghy, Jihyun Lee, Gavin Miller, Brooke Toczylowski, Renato Verdugo and Kathy Wu pick apart linguistic systems, inviting new possibilities for expression.
