Exhibition Closing Word for Word

A closing ceremony of the Word for Word exhibition, accompanying program and catalogue launch.

The Word for Word exhibition is itself a sort of visual poetry transferred into an actual context. Both artists created new works for it, which reflect not just their current pondering on the topics mentioned, but also respond to the specific gallery’s space and to discussions evolved from this rather surprising connection within one exhibition – it is these artists’ first collaborative project. The exhibition’s composition, enhanced by Jan Pfeiffer’s design, should tell the viewer a kind of non-linear story of shifted meanings and chances to read between the lines, as well as render a strong visual experience. Thus the spectator becomes an active co-author, the missing word in a sentence. The project would like to show that the connection between visual art and linguistics, their mutual inspiration and influence is still relevant and brings about new challenges associated with shifts and changes achieved in both disciplines.
