As the “De/constructed Meanings” exhibition nears its conclusion, art enthusiasts have one last opportunity to immerse themselves in a profound exploration of language, ideology, and culture. This unique project space exhibition, a result of the collaboration between VCUarts Qatar xLab and distinguished artists Hala Amer, Saga Elkabbash, Levi Hammett, and Giovanni Innella, is on display only until March 10, 2024.

A Fusion of Art, Language, and Technology

“De/constructed Meanings” delves into the evolution of linguistic systems within critiques of ideology, presenting an installation that doubles as a writing device on sand. This engaging piece employs a sophisticated coding system to apply text through the lens of deconstruction theory, pioneered by Jacques Derrida. The exhibition encourages viewers to contemplate the postcolonial shifts in culture that are deeply rooted in the Arab region’s diverse histories and experiences.

Contributing Talents

The exhibition showcases the collaborative efforts of artists Hala Amer, Saga Elkabbash, Levi Hammett, and Giovanni Innella, with type design by Maryam Al-Homaid and software development by George Paul. Co-curated by Noora Abdulmajeed and Rim Albahrani, “De/constructed Meanings” represents a harmonious blend of artistic vision, technological innovation, and scholarly research.
