In Other Words

2009/11/22

In Other Words is a series of events exploring art practices that use writing as an inherent part, confronting several international artists who have extended the form of their work into a “narrative” approach. The project, organized by Peep-Hole, Milan and Kunsthalle Zürich in collaboration with Istituto Svizzero di Roma, aims to investigate act of “translations” from a form/format of production to another, the circulation of language and meanings between difference sources and the fundamental role that written words and narration in general have in this process. Using words as tools and acting as reaction of a given situation, In Other Words will happen at different time and speed over the season. Placing itself in the interstices of the institutions program the series of events seeks also to address the way in which these practices may reload museums art institutions and curatorial strategies and how may institutions reflect this in combining narrative approaches in critical institutional ones.
