Found in translation
The necessity, and the difficulty, of communicating across cultural and historical divides is now an unavoidable aspect of our lives. Within this context, translation, in both its linguistic and more figurative senses, has become a fundamental tool for making sense of reality. Unlike ever before, we must consider what can be lost (or gained) in translation, and what effects these endless transformations have on the world around us.
Found in Translation brings together recent works by eleven artists who look to translation as both a model and a metaphor to critically comment on the past and to produce richly imagined possibilities for the present.]…] Delving equally into history and fantasy, the works on view here investigate diverse political and social contexts; at their hearts, language continues to provide the crucial link between the cultures and temporalities they explore.
]…] Together these artists highlight ways that translation can illuminate the complex historical and political processes that govern life today.

STAGE linguistique ARTISTIQUE EN IMMERSION
La nécessité et la difficulté, pour communiquer de chaque côté des ornières culturelles et historiques de notre monde moderne, sont deux aspects inévitables de nos vies. Dans ce contexte, la traduction dans son sens linguistique et plus figuratif, est devenue un outil fondamental pour donner du sens à la réalité. Comme jamais auparavant, nous devons mesurer les gains et les pertes en traduction ainsi que les conséquences de ces transformations infinies dans notre monde.
Found in translation ( STAGE linguistique ARTISTIQUE EN IMMERSION) rassemble les récents travaux de onze artistes qui considèrent la traduction comme un modèle et une métaphore afin de jeter un regard critique sur le passé et de produire des alternatives richement imaginées pour le futur. En fouillant dans notre histoire tout comme dans notre imagination, les travaux exposés explorent des contextes divers de la vie politique et sociale ; au sein desquels le langage offre perpétuellement le lien entre les cultures et les temporalités explorées.
]…] Ensemble, ces artistes surlignent les effets de la traduction qui éclairent les évolutions complexes de l’histoire et de la vie politique qui gouvernent notre vie d’aujourd’hui.
Exposition organisée par le conservateur Nat Trotman.
