The exhibition In the First Circle relates certain works by Imogen Stidworthy to others by twenty-five contemporary artists, including Antoni Tąpies. The selection of works, by curator Paul Domela and Stidworthy herself -who participates in the project both as artist and curator- traces a cartography through which an extensive reflection on linguistics can unfold. The project explores aspects such as the encounters and conflicts of communication generated by language, the misunderstandings caused by transferring meanings from one language to another, as well as ideas of opacity and relational resistance. Language impregnates the exhibition through images, materials, gestures and documents. The title refers to the eponymous novel by Alexander Solzhenitsyn (1968).
In the First Circle is the second stage of the project Die Lucky Bush, an exhibition made by Imogen Stidworthy, in dialogue with Paul Domela and Edwin Carels (curator, MuKHA) at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Antwerp in 2008. Responding to a carte blanche invitation to make an exhibition on the first floor of the museum, Stidworthy took her installation I Hate (Documenta 12, 2007) as the curatorial map for an exhibition addressing questions about voice and language reflected in works by around thirty artists. Both exhibitions could be seen as an extension of her artistic practice: each forming an acoustic landscape of works addressing and embodying encounters, connections and conflicts between languages.
Paul Domela is Programme Director of Liverpool Biennial. He is co-founder of the European Biennial Network, and member of the boards of Liverpool School of Art and Design, International Foundation Manifesta, The Biennial Foundation, International Curators Forum and the new Journal for Art in the Public Sphere.
Imogen Stidworthy is an artist who makes videos, sound works and installations concerning aspects of language such as the sound of the voice, losing and gaining language and processes of translation. Her work has been shown widely in major exhibitions including Documenta 12 (2007) and most recently in solo shows at Arnolfini, Bristol, Galerie Akinci, Amsterdam and Matts Gallery, London.
