Is it language that they're after? (no one replied.)

The group exhibition Is it language that they’re after? (no one replied.) examines hybrid forms that have emerged on the fringes of literature and fine art in the twenty-first century. It investigates these models against the backdrop of the Internet and its tendency to reduce the speakable by visualising language itself, while simultaneously making it redundant. How the dematerialisation of art—which has continued since Conceptual Art—is further exacerbated in the process, and how the use of language as a self-evident medium of artistic practice is changing are facets of the questions posed in Is it language that they’re after? (no one replied.) The exhibition situation will be informed by how ideas expressed via language constitute an artwork, how ephemeral or permanent these moments appear in an exhibition context, and what role might yet be left for texts.
