Opening reception: Thursday, April 23, 6-8pm
Opening performance: Bona Park, I Tell What you Believe 1, 6-8pm

You Speak / I Dance is concerned with Homo loquens. Language, as the dominant medium for human communication, presumes the encounter and the interface of different subjectivities. You Speak / I Dance presents works that question the possibilities and the discrepancies of the way in which language functions. Particularly resonating with the situations of education, translation, and instruction, the artists’ works included in this exhibition reveal the way language plays between us and how it locates and dislocates what we believe to be communicated. Witnessing effects of inclusion, exclusion and alienation, this exhibition invites us to sense the tension of expectation and betrayal oscillating in our habitual use of language.

Works by Diane Borsato, Adam David Brown, Brendan Fernandes, Kim Beom, and Bona Park.
