AXIOM #3, P,Oe?ie
16.09.-30.11.2023

abstract
Axiom#3 envisions the exhibition as a process, a dialog between artists that will unfold in multiple stages. Each phase of the exhibition is adding and editing contributions from artists and other actors in the scene to write the exhibition like an open book and an ever changing canvas.
The overarching theme will revolve around the language of art, as well as the utilization of language within art, encompassing concepts such as visual language, nomenclature, appropriation, coded language, and many more…
The exhibition's title, P,Oe?!e, directly refers to the tradition of concrete poetry, where the conceptual essence lies in systemic writing, prioritizing structure over narrative.
One could introduce the theme of Meta.language; here the processes, systems… of writing, and painting …become the core of the work rather than the applied words, colors, forms.
