A multimedia exhibition that includes video projections, sculptural installations, painting and wall drawing, InVisible Silence was inspired by the late writings of French philosopher Maurice Merleau-Ponty, especially his unfinished manuscript The Visible and the Invisible. The exhibition explores his notion of silence, not as muteness, lack of content, or absence of meaning, but rather as a background of language, operating non-verbally via implicit, sensible meanings. The aim of the exhibition is to present works, which although diverse in their concepts, approaches and media, embody this notion of silence and evoke a feeling of speechless, sensuous knowing. Artists included are: Yael Bartana of Israel, Sandra Cinto of Brazil, Regi Müller of Switzerland, Yoshihiro Suda of Japan, Su-Mei Tse of Luxembourg, and Fred Sandback and Kate Shepherd of the United States.
