ARTiculation - Ralph de Smit at Viva Vida Art Gallery 2014

Ralph de Smit performs live at "ARTiculation" -- Expressions of word and image

Theme: "House of Blues"

Curator: Nedia El Khouri

This exhibition explores visual art's long standing connection to language. Visual images and language have been an essential part of human history, dating back to hieroglyphics. Language and its ability to incite, arouse, instigate, persuade, evoke and provoke thought and emotion, is part of its continuing appeal to artists of all disciplines.

"ARTiculation" explores the many ways in which word influences image and image, word. The inherent relationship of visual, written and spoken language is a vital part of this show. Artists will demonstrate through a variety of different media, the many ways in which we strive to interconnect with each other. Submitted work will represent the power that written, spoken and visual language has to articulate.

An evening of performance, recitations and music will open the exhibit.
