A Discussion on the Usage of Language in Visual Art

Visual and written language each have profoundly different access to meaning. Owing to the fact that the artists participating in this event explore the powerful potential, frustrations and nuances of language in their work, they are especially qualified to discuss its complexity in visual art. During this event, Bridge Projects’s Director Linnéa Gabriella Spransy Neuss moderates a discussion with Kenturah Davis, Caroline Kent, and Christina McPhee. The conversation will address how their work employs language: its accuracy and slippage in the process of translation, its capacity for meaning and its potential for glossolalia – the possibility of communicating unknown languages and meanings.
