Event Details
The writing’s on the wall at this new exhibition by artist Tim Etchells, which comprises a large series of text drawings, a neon installation and performance.
In The Facts on the Ground at Vitrine gallery, British artist and writer Tim Etchells explores the possibilities and limitations of language and the conditions of performativity and liveness with his statements that question us as their letters demand our attention on canvas or in neon light.
In a space in where works of varied dimensions are hung in an unruly cluster, banal single words, phrases, instructions, notes and appropriated texts sit next to vivid images summoned in language; fragments of overheard conversation become compelling and often bizarre recurring textual motifs. Sometimes ominous, often trippy and always entertaining, you’ll come out of this exhibition thinking about language in a very different way.
The Facts on the Ground is at Vitrine from 20 March until 25 April.
