No other cure none other than words in talking
The exhibition No other cure none other than words in talking, curated by Christina Lehnert, presents historical and contemporary artists whose works are interlinked by the topics of language, memory, and the experience of being foreign.
The exhibition鈥檚 title is taken from Cha鈥檚 book Temps Morts. The first lines, which read 鈥淣o other cure none other than words in talking,鈥� is followed by lists of different forms of speaking and discourse, ranging from various instructions to the decision that ultimately leads to remaining silent.
The exhibition invites visitors to read, listen, and speak, transforming the institution into a place featuring the multivoiced narratives of these artists. The show opens a critical space that makes connections between artistic practices and experiences, between memories and periods, and between history and the present. Especially in periods in which communication is characterized by new terms that create atmospheres and form opinions but in which collective discussions no longer seem possible, the practices of these artists raise our awareness of the significance and importance of words when speaking with one another.
