Critical Dictionary

26 Jan-25 Feb 2012

Work Gallery
London WC1X 9NG

Overview

A group show curated by David Evans and featuring work by Rut Blees Luxemburg, Adam Broomberg and Oliver Chanarin, Simon Cunningham, Simon Faithfull, Justin Hibbs, Office of Experiments, Sophy Rickett, Penelope Umbrico and Jake Walters, amongst others. Critical Dictionary declassifies selected terms in a playful manner to emphasise the open-ended, provisional and unfinished nature of language. The exhibition is based on Bataille's infamous anti-dictionary of the same name, and brings together an eclectic range of themes, including Flickr Sunset, Greenwich Meridian, Mycelium, Overt Research, Pencil Test and War Primer.
