Ames Yavuz: Opening Reception
Join Ames Yavuz for the opening of Polyphonies, a group exhibition featuring Ibrahim Ahmed, Brook Andrew, Ana Bidart, Joy Gregory, Sheroanawe Hakihiiwe, Mehdi Georges-Lahlou, Betty Muffler, Seraphina Mutscheller, Thania Petersen, Stanislava Pinchuk and Lizi Sánchez.
The exhibition challenges the intrinsic hierarchies and biases of language and includes works by international artists who highlight the immense profundity and potential of different kinds of language, including those which rely on visual and oral articulation alone; those embodied entirely in nature, space or song, and verbal systems peppered so thickly with lacunae that much of their meaning remains beyond the page. The works presented serve as a reminder of the complementary power of these systems, and make a case for the boundless epistemological possibilities to be found in polyphony.
