Summary:
"This exhibition presents artworks that use various forms of language to critically examine the complexities of social reality during times of rampant miscommunication ... Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art (SMoCA) presents Language in Times of Miscommunication featuring artwork that incorporates various forms of language (poetry, speculative fiction, and slang), modes of communication (propaganda, protest, social media, and advertising), and research materials (archives, political documents, and the news) that together form a timely exchange about the slippery relationship between opinion, fact, and fiction, within the construct of our collective reality"--Museum's description of exhibition.
