Drawn almost entirely from the Baruch College Art Collection, Visible Communication explores our relationship to communication technologies as tools for worldmaking, socially, culturally, and politically. The works on display are all concerned with some form of media and its mis/use, from traditional mass media (books, newspapers, TV) to experimental sound machines and instant cameras. The artists engage with these media technologies as subject matter, raw material, and apparatuses for image-making. Inspired by the title of Juan Downey’s work Do It Yourself: Invisible Communication, this exhibition asks us to look at the structures of communication around us, whether it’s complex networks of production and distribution too vast to behold, or everyday objects so common that we don’t stop to notice them.
Featuring work by Mary Ascher, Sarah Charlesworth, Juan Downey, Jannis Kounellis, Martha Rosler, and Andy Warhol.
