Description
The exhibition presenting works by Gerardo Tan, Felicidad A. Prudente, and Sammy N. Buhle is a collaborative and interdisciplinary project exploring the networked translation of cultural data into visual language, experimenting with sound, transcription, painting, video, and textiles. It is inspired by indigenous weaving practices connecting the customary and the contemporary. The exhibit thus appears in a binary format: Speaking in Tongue is a two-channel video installation within a tunnel, showing the transmission of a traditional chant into codes transcribed through painting; Renderings follows the transmutation of sound from the native looms into textile renditions, arranged according to the metaphoric properties of weaving and the intersection of technology and tradition.
