Join us for the launch of Glot: Four Conversations on Voice. This book accompanies the exhibition Glot at Hessel Museum of Art, Bard College, in upstate New York, curated by Meanjin/Brisbane’s Sophie Rose.
The Greek suffix ‘glot’ means ‘to have a tongue’. Rose’s exhibition reflects on elements of vocal expression that exceed linguistic construction. Her reader features long-form interviews with the four participating artists: Shahrzad Changalvaee, JJJJJerome Ellis, Nour Mobarak, and Anri Sala. Through their discussions, they explore a politics of speech beyond clear articulation residing in the material of voice itself, a politics which can both carry and disturb a speaker’s intention.
Hear Rose in conversation with artist Shahrzad Changalvaee (online) and purchase a copy of Glot from our Gallery Shop.
