“Mistranslations” Exhibition

1/8/2023–6/8/2023

Nipponbashi House Gallery, Osaka

Curated by Alexandre Vicente and Ken Farris

Translation is the diffusion of an entity between disparate mediums, dependent on a hierarchical synthesis and transmission of concepts between ambiguous yet demarcated layers. Architects, similar to translators, interpret concepts and drawings to make buildings. Converting two-dimensional representation into three-dimensional space inevitably produces errors in translation which cumulate regardless of an author’s cognizance. The exhibition’s journey is a traversal between languages and serves as a metaphor for the ideological translation of its contents.
