What are the limits of language? Artist Pavel Büchler will consider this question through his artistic practice and in relation to the themes in the exhibition Confusion of Tongues: Art and the Limits of Language. Be sure to view the exhibition in The Courtauld Gallery to see his three works, “American Irish,” “Nothing More” and a selection from the series “How to Find a Way in the Dark?”
Büchler is an artist, writer and Research Professor in Art and the Manchester School of Art. He describes his practice as “making nothing happen,” revealing the strange within the obvious through his exploration of language and its materiality. His talk will address the limitless potential of language confronted to its material limits in terms of technology and representation.
