Turn of Phrase: Language and Translation in Global Contemporary Art
Lin, Sabrina Xiyin
Regular price €20,00
“How do different artists interpret, disrupt, and reimagine language? How might language’s meaning become lost, destabilized, or reinvented through art? Artists use language to embody narratives, contest definitions, and raise questions about the self and the world. Turn of Phrase seeks to reframe language beyond the written word and situate individual artists’ approach to language in relation to their distinct linguistic backgrounds, cultural references, and personal ruminations.”
Catalogue published on the occasion of an exhibition at Bowdoin College Museum of Art in Brunswick, Maine, 2022-2023; with full-colour reproductions and photographs.
