AUDIO
LANGUAGE/TEXT/IMAGE
The exhibition focuses on the central role of language, text and image, which are essential means of expression in human communication and the creation of meaning. In their sound- and text-based, photographic, printmaking, filmic, sculptural or textile works, thirteen selected artists from the 20th and 21st centuries examine the relationship between language, text and image and their possibilities for making something sayable, visible and audible.
They question the human need to be heard and seen and highlight how this is conveyed through language, text and image. In doing so, they also reveal mechanisms of inclusion and exclusion and offer scope for appropriation and the transfer of meaning.
In this audio guide, the thirteen artistic positions are presented in more detail alongside a brief introduction and an impulse for the exhibition design. You can move freely around the space and decide for yourself which position you would like to learn more about.
