New Hampshire Art Institute
Curated by Tim Donovan – Launch F18 Gallery, New York
September 6 — October 25, 2013
Opening Reception: September 6, 2013, 5—7pm
Whether it is repurposing found letters, bombastic political statements, documenting intimate details or elusively abstracting a phrase, text incorporated within art offers a profound purpose by both redefining our perception of what language can be and what it can do. Often, by manipulating its context, text is freed to become a vehicle that allows us to take into consideration what was previously concluded.
