Between July 14 – 22 SomoS presents the work of Alexandre Baptista (Brazil/Germany) and Syed Shoaib Mahmood (India) in “Reflexive”, the first installment of SomoS’ new exhibition series “Language Matters”. Both artists have prepared their work at SomoS as part of their Artist-in-Residence. Mahmood and Baptista share an interest in translation, wordplay, the tension between text and image, language’s role in the construction of identity and the way context changes the meaning of language and imagery.
