Letters, Words, and Phrases
March 23, 2009 - April 26, 2009
The use of language was a major part of cubism, futurism, Dada, and other avant-garde art movements. It was also important in pop art, which frequently incorporated advertising text and logos, and conceptual art, in which language often became the artwork itself. Words and images began to function interchangeably, breaking down distinctions between the two and creating a sort of synthesis. Thus, language and image often oscillate in contemporary visual art, forcing the viewer to infer some basis for associating them. Letters, Words, and Phrases is an exhibition that explores visual art's ongoing engagement and entanglement with language, bringing together works by nine contemporary artists who use letters, words, and phrases as part of their work: sculptures by Ruth Bowler and R.L. Croft, photography by Susan Eder and Craig Dennis, mixed-media art by Cara Ober and Susan Brandt, prints by Rebecca Katz, and drawings by Julie Marie Geare and Molly Springfield.
