Language, Place, and Object: A Juried Exhibition

April 2007

The interplay of image and language has long been considered the most
complete form of communication. As Simon Morley puts it in Writing on
the Wall, " The former mode allows openness of interpretation and
freedom of mental and sensual movement, while the latter confines the
reader to a predetermined route..." The goal of this exhibition is
to find works that can communicate one of the basic ideas of being,
place, through a unique interplay of image/object and language.

Venue:
Washington Street Art Center
321 Washington Street
Somerville, MA 02143

Juror:
Jennifer Schmidt, Professor of Printmedia, School of the Museum of
Fine Arts Boston.
