INSCRIBE
Inscribe is a textual self-portrait of our emerging new art-world, through recording and transcribing conversations between artists.
These sessions are then re-played, typed using a manual typewriter onto cream paper and photocopied. The piece exhibited shows human error in the process of transcription through mishearing’s, misunderstanding and typos and is a contemplation on the value of communication, the potential for growth through dialogue and the obstacles to comprehension in the misunderstandings arising from the production process and ultimately transposing a conversation from one location to another.
(Here’s Inscribe at T R A N S P A R E N C Y exhibition in December – New images coming soon!)
Inscribe is a living work of art gathering artists words, it is also messy in the interpretation of recordings. The pages are offered to audiences via a prominent sign with the hope that the pile will wax and wane with each new showing.
Inscribe is a live document.
