SAN FRANCISCO, CA- Root Division presents Character Profile, a group exhibition featuring projects that explore intersections between the forms, mechanisms and meanings of language. Featuring a group of twenty-six artists including visual artists, writers, and craftspeople, Character Profile investigates novel functions of language through collaboration and a broad range of materials, media and approaches.
The artists in Character Profile present language as both a medium and a subject, and deftly maneuver words to both convey and critique meaning. Many works are interactive and dedicated to a spirit of engagement and play. The exhibition highlights art designed for direct interaction with visitors and work that provokes expanded meanings and alternative associations of language and test.
