About

A group show featuring 13 artists and collectives spanning painting, photography, video and installation, Linguistic Pavilion examines linguistics-oriented practice by contemporary Chinese artists, casting light on the relation between art and language. The show can be roughly divided into three parts, the first of which includes artists who use the language system itself as a working interface. The second investigates language as a kind of “readymade” laden with historical, social, cultural and political implications. The third endeavors to write within the “context” of images. Features work by Lu Pingyuan, Xu Bing, Chen Xiaoyun and more.
