The Writing’s on the Wall: Language and Silence in the Visual Arts, curated by Hilton Als, explores the intersection of communication, language, and silence. The exhibition, featuring artists like Vija Celmins, Cy Twombly, and Andy Warhol, reflects on how language functions—or fails to—in visual art. Als’ essay probes the power of visual art to convey what words cannot, focusing on erasure, rhythm, and the subtext of language.
