The title of this exhibition comes from Wittgenstein’s Tractatus
Logioco-Philosophicus, the carefully regimented series of statements
about the nature of logic. The seven artists in this exhibition
activate strategies that willingly defy the necessary usefulness of
logic and language. They create nuanced works through gestures that
are at turns elegant or absurd, and in so doing affirm poetic and
political possibilities of stretching or even misusing the structures
of language. Using simple operations akin to tautology and
contradiction, the works confirm that language is not a perfect mirror
for the world.
