vox la•cu•nae

gaps or unfilled spaces in speech/language/tone/words/expression

​

Gaps are natural: a language can have many words to name a thing, or none at all. A language can be culturally separate from visual art, or seamlessly united.

​

Gaps are constructed: a language can be used as a tool in one place, and as a weapon in another. A language can be one person's right, and another person's privilege.

​

VOX LACUNAE brings attention to the boundaries between written, spoken, and visual language. Considering those who traverse these boundaries in our globalized era, the exhibition also asks: to what extent does emotion, intent, and voice, transcend these gaps?
