Press release
Semiospace is the hypothetical group show of a single artist that transforms into a conference, a performance, a diagram, and now a book, the publication of which we are celebrating with a new display and a live presentation. The polysemic concert expands, folding and unfolding. It serves as a working methodology and becomes an evolutive installation. Its generative dynamics slowly reveal its holistic ambition, drifting towards the chaos of the cosmos. Is the aim to read the signs of the universe and organize them into fictional models and alternative realities? Or is it to design discursive spaces to travel deeper into the mind?
