But the tongue is also political. The phrase “mother tongue,” for example, suggests ways that notions of origin are inextricable from the body, and from epistemology, geopolitics, mobility, and histories of colonization. Tongues, Echoes: Matias Armendaris, Hyang Cho, and Olivia Whetung explores the physicality and “bodiliness” of a given language, as well as the historical and cultural texts that are its sediment. Manipulating textual, sonal and time-based elements, the artists attempt a material translation, querying the possibilities of agency, reclamation, and distortion within the conditions of our lived time. * MATIAS ARMENDARIS is an Ecuadorian artist based in Mexico City. He received a BFA from Emily Carr University of Art and Design (2015) and has exhibited in Canada, Ecuador, Colombia, Mexico, and Slovenia. Through drawing, printmaking, sculpture, and installation, Armendaris explores the formal structures of language and metaphors of translation as a method of representation, seeking to generate refiguration of power dynamics, binary and structures resulting from the global and neoliberal contemporary culture.
