Getting There

211 Hoyt St, Athens, GA 30601, USA Athens

About

Ranging from complete sentences in English to rudimentary shapes, the works illustrate how language becomes form and form becomes language while the viewer shifts between reading the work and gazing upon it. The exhibition spans a wide range of media, including but not limited to video, embroidery, an LED road sign, synthetic hair, commercial flags, and printmaking. Each artist approaches the inclusion of language differently and toward distinct ends, employing modes that may be bold, cryptic, quiet, literal, abstract, or faltering. To learn more about the show and participating artists visit Speaking in Tongues.
