“The Voice of Ink” invites viewers to meditate on the role of handwritten communication in a rapidly changing world. Artist Marianna Constanti presents a collection of ink bottles, quills, and other objects used to connect hand to ink to paper in shaping the written word; she accompanies these with works on paper that highlight acts of revision and blotting. If the art of the personal letter seems dated in an era of rapid electronic communication, artist Miriam McConnon Papageorgiou makes this claim directly in her “Lost Communication”—a large-scale charcoal drawing of worn and rusted post boxes. Yet she also stresses the value immigrants find in connecting by letter across great distances through “House of Letters,” a house-shaped structure she crafted from thousands of letters by immigrants from throughout the world. The exhibition continues through 30 November.
