Language, performativity, and process are preoccupations for many contemporary artists. The works in Descriptive Acts engage with both text and image, foregrounding complex and often fraught acts of description, narration, translation, and communication. The exhibition is presented in two consecutive configurations: Act I (February 18 through April 15, 2012) features works by Aurélien Froment , Dora García , Shilpa Gupta , John Smith , and Tris Vonna-Michell ; Act II (April 21 through June 17, 2012) highlights works by Anthony Discenza , Gupta, Lynn Marie Kirby and Li Xiaofei , Smith, and Vonna-Michell.
