ACCENTED

Curated by Lori Ledis Emerging Curatorial Fellow Murtaza Vali

With people, culture and information circulating globally at accelerating rates, it might be said, that our day-to-day interactions are increasingly accented. As the aural component of language, the accent embellishes script sonically and yet it can also be visual. Accent marks indicate how text is to be enunciated. An accent is also understood as a feature that contrasts with or complements a decorative style, the key element that makes an interior come to life or a fashion outfit come together.

Inspired by the attention to issues of language and translation precipitated by postcolonial theory, this exhibition brings together recent work in video, painting and photography that examine the different ways in which accents might operate in our contemporary moment.

On view January 21 through March 6.
