LIKE A STRUCTURED LANGUAGE

Artist: Lynne Barwick
Opening Friday 2nd May, 6-8pm
Marrickville Garage will be open Saturday 3rd and Sunday 4th May, 11-5 pm

Like a structured language is an immersive text work that references the use of language and systems in early conceptual art. In an excess of description and definition, the installation sounds out some of the vernacular legacy of conceptualism.

Lynne Barwick’s text-based artworks use literary devices from fiction, autobiography, criticism and concrete poetry to explore subjectivity and affect in the interplay of language and representation.
