ART: There's something truly compelling about art that successfully blends text with imagery. Words hold such powerful connotations for all of us and are capable of adding layers of narrative to a work with a mere jumble or string, a curiously chosen sentence or phrase. And words carry an aesthetic of their own—whether scrawled, typed, or doodled, and depending on their colour, size, or font face. In "Text-Based," ten artists share their unique perspectives on language in art, bringing text into the creative process and rendering it integral to the overall message of their pieces. Each artist featured in the exhibit (including those who comprise the ArtEXCHANGE project) reveals a different relationship with words and text—covering a vast spectrum: poetics, narrative, symbolism, revolution, spelling, grammar, and more.
