Word Play explores the human fascination with printed language. This diverse collection of artists, designers and craftspeople traverse the boundaries between the semantic and syntactic, using words as a conceptual and aesthetic force. This traveling exhibition—with stops in Detroit and Richmond—brings the work of internationally recognized designers and artists, such as Ed Fella and Kurnal Rawat, together with Boston-area artists. Word Play includes four installations specifically designed for the Fort Point space that engage text and language. From the experimental and unconventional to the traditional methods of Gutenberg, the artists in this exhibition playfully and poetically mark the proverbial page with words that both provoke and evoke.
