"Lingo: Works by 17 Artists"
2002-04-27 until 2002-05-24
ONI Gallery
Boston, MA,
USA United States of America
ONI Gallery is proud to present LINGO. Curated by Jennifer Schmidt and Mathew Nash, Visiting Faculty at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, LINGO is an exhibition featuring artists who are investigating the contextual significance of language through the use of printed media, photography, sculpture, and video.
Artists exhibited in LINGO take signs, sounds, gestures, and marks appropriated from conversations, advertisements, literature, music, or personal history and inscribe them with new meaning by manipulating the conditions/rules that determine how language becomes intelligible.
Through the suggestion of the incomprehensibility of language, each artist creates his own lingo, unique to her special interest in particular images and words, and the ideas they imply.
