Language Pit · Gary Hill
Gary Hill's second solo exhibition at bitforms gallery explores the physicality of language in a multiplicity of ways through silkscreens, watercolors, sculpture, and video installation. The works probe both the visual and auditory components of the spoken word. The Engender series applies Boolean logic to personal pronouns, creating visually decoded forms that challenge the binary conundrum and examine gender identity and linguistics. None of the Above is a large video projection showing the artist performing a bricolage of words and syntax with synchronized hand gestures. The titular Language Pit is a two-channel video installation with speaker cones and micro-cameras capturing live feeds triggered by dialogue.
