Words have alternative meanings regionally and languages differ across the globe. So how much does language actually affect the way we think and interpret the things we see? To what extent do the words we read and write convey our fundamental meaning? If all art is open to interpretation, does the inclusion of written words inhibit or extend the viewer's understanding of the work? Through “The Written Word”, we offer you an exploration of the many ways in which language and text can be woven into visual art in order to offer an alternative perspective of an already multifaceted viewing experience.=0D=0A==0D=0A=THE WRITTEN WORD=0D=0A=BLANC GALLERY=0D=0A=February 9th-March 2nd=0D=0A=Opening Reception: February 9th (viewing 6:00-8:00 | afterparty 8:00-12:00)=0D=0A=With works by:=0D=0A==0D=0A= Meg Hitchcock=0D=0A= Pat Falco=0D=0A= Jousef Massif=0D=0A= Sarah Rushford=0D=0A= Charley Friedman=0D=0A= CLASS:PRIVATE PRIORITY:3 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
